Speaking of arcade add-ons for home consoles […were we? – Ed] how’s about the Virtual Arena? Billed as the first and only virtual game controller for PS1 and PS2 (oh weally?) it’s got some interesting features which could make it a worthy successor to those naff dance mats.

Like the strap on wireless sensors for ankles and wrists which interact with the pad receptors to know where you are moving, and the foot activated movement controllers. Apparently using one to play a game like Tekken is a bit of a workout,…ahem…to say the least. Wonder if it works as well as it looks? �54.99.
