It’s time to go back to basics with the Pac-Man Arcade Gold Plug N Play.

When you need a break from the 14 button controller of your PlayStation 12 you can always fall back on the iconic games of Christmas past. 

With Arcade Gold by Jakks Pacific, you get four Pac-Man games in one controller along with Dig-Dug, Galaxian, New Rally-X, and Bosconian; unfortunately there’s no Mrs. Pac-Man. 
The included video and audio jacks plug directly into your TV, there’s nothing additional you need to purchase.

The SHIFT Tricycle designed at Purdue University helps children gradually learn how to balance by providing two rear wheels that change angle as speed is increased.  When the child starts out, the back wheels provide a wider base for extra stability, and as the newbie builds momentum the wheels shift towards parallel, putting more of the balance responsibility on the child. 
Since this is just a concept, I’m not quite sure how well the tricycle handles, how it maneuvers corners, or what happens when you slam on the breaks (are the wheels able to shift back or do they stop at parallel?).  Aside from these questions, the trike seems pretty cool.
