Wow! Beats socks.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

How cool is it to have people who know what your interests are and what kind of a gift would absolutely trip your trigger? I'm jealous! People know what my interests are but none of them, my wife included, would know what to get for me if I didn't practically order it for myself. It takes work to find and acquire a gem like that, you're so very lucky they know you so well and went to the trouble to find such an item.

On a side note, what exactly does this ROB thing do? I've never been a Nintendo kind of guy so I'm pretty clueless. I suppose I could do a wiki......(but it's more fun to have "real" people tell me things and give me their impressions of them).

It had a couple of games that you could play with it. One was a kind of neat plate-stacking thing.

Lucky you! Looks like they really knew what they were doing.

That's a very nice package. Not only complete, but everything looks like it's in fantastic condition. Spend the couple of bucks for a composite cable - don't stoop to RF! Ya gotta get Gradius, Mega Man 2, Punch Out and RC Pro Am.

That's awesome, and a very thoughtful gift.

I wish I had relatives, friends, acquaintances, or even well wishers like fastbilly does... :(

Like RadarScope1 said, "splurge" on some cables and split the mono into both speakers for dual-mono.

Congrats dude~ Helluva sweet gift.
