Aug 11 2008Sweet!: LEGO Donkey Kong Game
This is a video of a Donkey Kong game made with LEGO Mindstorms RCX. You push a button, the opening game audio plays, and then Kong starts throwing barrels. Mario jumps over them, but never makes any forward progress. And sometimes the barrels actual hit him, which, at least in the real game, results in a death, a thrown controller, and a barrage of profanity. But then your mommy says no more video games for the rest of the night and you, in a rage, call her a bad name. Unfortunately, your father hears so you take off running and lock yourself in your bedroom. Then, while he's punching through the door, you contemplate the best way to survive a three-story dive out the window.
Hit the jump to see another video from the back showing how it all works.

i also have a bad habit of smashing game controllers out of GOR or 'game-over-rage'. but i wised up and now i just keep a broken controller handy so i can take my anger out on it. i am a disturbed child.

I see the effort that's gone into it..but it's not exactly thrilling is it?! I mean even a bit of progression on Mario's part would jazz it up a little..

I've used those RCX's before. They're pretty sweet and easy to program. Fun to make little projects out of.
