[olug] Joystick Consoles for TV

[Adam Haeder]

As anyone who was at my bday party a few weeks ago can attest to, MAME
on Myth rules. Especially with 4 usb gamepads playing a heated game of
Gauntlet.

Considering the likes of Radio Shack and Target are selling these
things,
I would have to guess that there are some legitimate versions out there
that Nintendo/Atari/etc authorize.

I saw one of these "game systems" in the Mall of the Bluffs a few weeks
back.  Its name was someting like "12,000 in One Game System", but when
you got into the listing it had "only" 120 games on it, and then it
repeated them 100 times.  Still, 120 games for ~$50 was kind of a neet
idea, but I didn't see many titles that I really wanted to play again.
Judging by the quality of the plastic, the type of games, and other
"sixth
sense" feelings, I would guess that this was one of those that was going
to be targeted for lawsuit.

I will just have to get my MythTV setup with the MAME ROMs and use that
method...
