Title: Not really an arcade [i]game[/i] per sé....
Post by: Kitsunexus on March 26, 2008, 06:33:26 AM
...but it's still cool.

Basically, a arcade-cab that holds a computer specifically designed to run the Ableton Live sequencer...

And if an arcade cab is too much, how about just a arcade control panel?

Thanks for the accurate and descriptive topic title, but riddle me this Batman: how does this thing relate to video game consoles?  ](*,)

Okay..... but does it play some sort of game (no matter how loosely defined)?  You and M.H. have confounded me, so please educate me.  If it's just a sequencer in a fancy box, then it's 62% less cool in my book.

Anyway, that's pretty soft compared to this:

Basically the greatest Live controller that will ever exist.

I was just joking about the high5 game cause of the giant hand on the screen. Personally I dont know what it plays,if any game what so ever other then learning to play the piano with Mario if even that. Anyone even remembers that product? :P.

I don't remember a 'mario teaches piano game', but I do I remember "the Miracle piano teaching system" for the NES. Wish I had one, but it's CRAZY expensive.

I don't think that game had mario in it... did it?
