Start with 1 TV, 2 Gamecubes, 7 controllers, and 1 copy of Mario Cart Double Dash. Add 3 broadband adaptors (only 2 in use), 1 TV, 1 new controller, 1 new copy of Double Dash, 1 homemade crossover cable, and you have Double Double Dash.

I hadn't had the to time to play with my movie advance player recently, but it's improved by leaps and bounds. The video encoding and quality is better than it has to be for your Gameboy/DS screen, and you can also listen to music while you're reading ebooks. It also plays gameboy ROMs. And sometime in the past year the price dropped to $25. And it works with the gameboy micro. I cannot rave enough about this little creature.

Mike from Mule Design says: "Simple and addictive matching game. Crack for the DS." I love it too. (*****)O3 Software: Alien Hominid
Rrecommended by Souris, side scroller with old-school personality and Viewtiful Joe sense of humor. The Nintendo polish that I expect isn't quite there, and it feels like a Playstation port of an old arcade game (the usual nintendo buttons don't work - b for back, for instance). This is partly intentional, I know, but I think this game is intended for more serious gamers. (***)Nintendo DS
At once overhyped and misunderstood. Mario 64 DS is wonderful. (*****)Spider-Man 2: The Movie 2
My favorite non-Nintendo produced Gamecube game, by far. Best graphics outside of Zelda, and fastest action outside of Ikaruga. (****)Nintendo: Wario Ware, Inc.:Mega Microgame$

If you don't have a computer genius around to cut your standard ethernet cable in half and rewire it, you'll need one of these. This is overpriced but convenient. (**)Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
We love this. (*****)Miyamoto: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
More than reason enough to buy a Nintendo. Probably the most beautiful video game ever made. (*****)

Oh man am I jealous. There is nothing like having 4-8 people sitting around one console playing games together. It's been a while for me. Sigh.

So who won?

It was a social gaming experience, Greg. We all won. :)
And just to get the obvious joke out of the way before Anil does, when you combine Double Double Dash with Anil Dash, you do in fact get Double Double Dash Dash. I can't wait until we get two more GameCubes and his parents are in town.

I think there's a secret Morse Code message in that last comment.

I might have been inclined to laugh at the idea unless I had done this myself as soon as I ran out and bought Double Dash.
Thank God I'm not the only one.

hey i wanna play double dash 8 player but what cross over cable do i need and where can i get it ????plez help!!!
Posted by: anthony | February 24, 2005 at 10:17 PM
Anthony, first you need two gamecubes, two copies of MKDD, and two ethernet adapters for the GCNs.
The crossover cable you need is a standard Cat5 Ethernet Crossover Cable.
You can pick them up at any major electronics retailer for under $10, or at any small independant computer shop for somewhere around $5, or from you friendly network administrator (if you know one) with a great big box of cat5 cable and a crimper for about $0.20.

You're a braver woman than I it was weeks before I could even begin to think about looking at the incisions from my lap. Even now I don't like to touch them. They're...squishy.

First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.
Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.

Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work.
So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.
