I know we're joking here, but I think I'd be generally disinterested in any music game that would require me to put my mouth on the controller--especially if we're talking about an arcade game.
I'm going to make a version of Boonga Boonga that requires mouth contact.

Did Crackin' 2 DJ ever get a home version? It's still one of my favorite music games (despite its absolute rarity) and I'd love to be able to play it whenever. The simplicity of 2 record decks and a crossfader can't be matched. It was easy to pick up but hard to master... which to me is the perfect formula.

What about this one?

I've been wanting just to play this game. If this stayed cheap I might go for this just to get the chance to play, but the shipping cost is higher than my curiosity.

BTW, Crackin' DJ isn't part of the EZ2 series. There was Crackin' DJ and Crackin' DJ 2, but not Crackin' 2 DJ. :)

Ah, my bad. I played the 2nd edition then. Really REALLY fun game. I played it a few times at cons and enjoyed it immensely. Between that and Hokuto no Ken (OMG Ya'll) these were my two arcade stops at the cons. Crackin' was a great arcade music game beyond many of the other options--it actually felt like I was making music rather than approximating that feeling.

As an aside, The hokuto no ken game was phenomenal. Someday I'll track down a still functioning (that'll cost ya) version and have it in my own home. Imagine a boxing simulator that was actually fun to play. God I miss my Cali days.

"You might have your baby scratch technique down. But you’re gonna need to know how to crossfade your bubble scratch hamster style to avoid that GAME OVER train wreck."

This makes no goddamn sense and I honestly cringed a little while reading it.

I could never get past the 200 hits per minute (or however long) encounter. I had bloody knuckles for trying (cause I totally eschewed the 'gloves' and absolutely missed the pads more than a few times ;p)

This game sounds like Infectious Diseases 101
