   I got to do it *once*, when I was up in Seattle at the Lobotomy office.   
   It was a bunch of those guys and Knightmare(Dan Jevons) from GameFan.   
   Was pretty hip, they had it on this huge-ass RPTV that had to be, at   
   least, 50 inches. We also got to play 7-player Death Tank on that   
   thing...the utter chaos of it all...

   Not to edge KKC out, but yes, that's the one. It actually comes out   
   alright on the Sega CD, the FMV looks alright...it's the enemies that   
   look horrible(all sprite based and clash horribly with the FMV, you know   
   the kind).

   With my sudden enlightenment about our SideWinder Wheels(more on this   
   later on down the post), it makes me wonder if we could find a lightgun   
   that, somehow, had drivers for the PC...then one could use it, via   
   emulation, across *all* emulate-able consoles. See, *that* would be   
   nice. I don't really know of any lightguns for the PC though...and about   
   the only one I could really see anyone putting any time and effort would   
   be the Guncon.   
      
   Enlightenment: After picking up my MS SideWinder Wheel(complete with   
   pedals) for just $5 at a GoodWill store I was thrilled...but it never   
   really hit me as to just how many games I could now play using it. This   
   wasn't just for MAME titles(which is what I had originally bought it   
   for), this could be used for PC games as well(duh)...and you know what's   
   out on PC? Outrun 2006, Sega Rally Revo, SR Championship, etc.   
      
   So, now we've got all MAME and virtually every PC racer covered...but   
   something was missing. What about PSX, Genesis or any other console?   
   Yup, you can use the wheel on those too! Virtually every console that   
   can be emulated can make use of the wheel. I can play any given N64 game   
   with the wheel via Project 64, I can play any PSX title with the wheel   
   via ePSXe, any Genesis, SNES, etc. game.   
      
   It, literally, blew my mind...
