We were turned onto Wicki! Wicki! by Mike, a turntable controlled student project game built on Flash, a gutted optical mouse, and old Technics hardware. From one of the games designers, Patrik Berg:
By finishing up an old dusty turntable, mounting a optical mouse on it instead of a regular pickup and then connecting it to a Flash-interface, our group developed a game controlled by scratching.
Sadly, we're not aware of any video, nor the original Flash software portion, but it's cool regardless. It makes me a little sad that I never got to try out Sega's Crackin' DJ (and that DJ Portable Max for the PSP is still so pricey). Guess I'll go back to scratching various body parts as a pathetic replacement for actual digital scratching fun.
Thanks for the tip, Mike.
