Our pals over at @joypadbar had an idea for a new retro video gaming night – Video Game Democracy – a change to settle age old gaming arguments by voting on which games should get played next. Sonic vs Mario, Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat, Pacman vs Donkey Kong – the audience will decide! [GGSGamer review here]
We knew right from the start that a Raspberry Pi would be ideal to run this [jump to the build]. Self-contained (and thus easy for Joypad to transport and setup), all we’d need would be a TV and some push buttons and we’ve got ourselves a voting machine!
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
