Fulfilling your life long dream of playing Pac-Man on the Game Boy Advance using nothing but your feet is within your grasp. Thanks to the folks at Instructables, who provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to hack together such a contraption, fat kids everywhere will be able to combine their two favorite things: eating (dots) and shedding pounds by frantic shuffling. They call this a "win-win."

So I decided to hack together my own version of this. It took my roughly 3 minutes to devise. It was quite a bit more expensive, but it doesn't require any modification or voiding of warranties, and may be usable with parts many already own. I used:

1-Television
1- Gamecube
1- Gameboy Player with disc
1- DDR: Mario Mix Dance Pad (A third party pad would work, too)
1- Copy of Pac-man Collection

First, set up the Gamecube (I had done this previously)
Second, attach the Gameboy Player to the Gamecube. (Also done previously)
Third, insert the Gameboy Player disc into the Gamecube disc slot
Next, insert Pac-man Collection into the GBA slot on the Gameboy Player
Then, Insert dance pad into the first Gamecube controller slot

Turn on your Gamecube and experience the Pac-man, all with the comforts of your television!

Sounds fun... But why not just do this:

Turn on your Wii/Gamecube, insert a Namcomusem game and plug in a DDR dance mat. Bingo.

Bit of a shame natural selection hasn't taken it's course, no?
