'Irritating Stick'

[mr aize]

So, just found this obscure japanese game, for the playstation, which is eerily similar to the irritating maze on the neo geo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ePkBHX1rDo I know they're both based on a japanese game show, but is there any other link? I.e developers/companies etc... Even the music is the same... (The graphics on the playstation version looks shit though tbh)

I had this on JP PS1 and it did indeed look crappy and was irritating as hell.

Uh yea, it is. It's even made by Saurus.

Nowhere near as fun as the real thing.

I played a real-life version of Irritating Stick some time ago built by MIT students. It was even set up to play different music when you reached different parts of the maze.

I like the Neo version, but it really needs to be played with a trackball.

Ah, missed that bit when I was looking last night... Must have just seen the different publishers. Strange then, that the graphics were so crappy on the playstation version, because surely it was powerful enough to do a better job..

Wow, the Ps1 game appears to even have the same levels as the Neo version. Why bother with it, then? The Neo version is so much better.

Because not too many people can afford the dedicated IM cab.

Fair enough, but I find it plays pretty well with the joystick hack in the Unibios. You're gonna have the same experience with the PS1 version given the lack of a trackball.

Don't for get Fire Electric Pen on the N64. I like constantly getting yelled at in Japanese!
