I had a power pad back in the day. My parents hated it. "All you do is stomp and make noise!". So I used it twice in the years we had it...

Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I was aware of the parallels between NES and Wii but it was pretty interesting to watch. Never knew of U-Force - like an early Natal!
And that Konami headgear thing reminded me of EndWar.

Obviously the tech now is far superior but it's amazing how we're not really doing anything they hadn't thought of back in the day.
