http://live.pirillo.com/ – Finding old items online isn't as difficult as you may think. Granted, you can't find them with a typical Google search, but dig a little deeper and you should be able to find it. In this case, Chris's brother needs to find "Bust a Groove" for the original Playstation.

We'd recommend doing a search on eBay. After doing a quick search on eBay, we were able to find Bust a Groove 1 and Bust a Groove 2. Of course, these games carry premium: Bust a Groove 1 costs upwards of $80 – three times as much as it originally sold for.

As an alternative, you could also try Craigslist. While the Craigslist community generally won't be as big in Iowa as it is in the San Francisco bay area, there is a good chance you could post a "wanted" ad, and find the items you're looking for.

You could always go the illegal route and download a ROM, burn it to a CD, and install a mod-chip in your Playstation in order to play the game. We don't officially recommend this course of action.

Do you have any suggestions?

One of the items in my personal gift guide is a homebrew arcade machine. I have a feeling that it’s going to be my “midlife crisis” acquisition (though I’m hoping midlife won’t hit me for another thirty years). I didn’t really grow up inside arcades, but arcades certainly grew up with and around me. I still remember walking into Happy Joe’s pizza parlour and begging Dad to let us play a few rounds of Donkey Kong.

So, while I was surfing around for the ultimate home arcade game cabinet, I stumbled across Starcade.tv. What a blast from the past! If you never watched the show, you can view a few of the episodes in this archive. Starcade was one of my favorite TV programs when I was a kid – right after G.I. Joe and The Transformers, of course. I wonder what happened to all those old Starcade contestants? Did they ever get proper haircuts? I remember watching them play Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace, thinking that video games couldn’t get any better than that.
