Old Toy Modding?

Posted by timothy on from the hello-kittty dept.

Sqwubbsy writes "Stumbling through Google, looking for info on the Big Trak by Milton Bradley, I came across an article about one that was retrofitted with an OOPic controller. I was wondering if anyone else had a good story about a retrofitted toy that they beefed up?"

    Please under no circumstances search google for "mothman prophesies"!

    Readers of the book, "The Mothman Prophesies," often experienced unnerving phenomena, said the friend. Electronic devices emiting static, or strange sounds, or phonecalls from a mechanical voice reciting a series of numbers. A girl I know who had read it burst into tears one night at its mention. And so when told about how the book was nearly impossible to find--gone missing from a multitude of libraries--and that the book's sequal, as well as its author had gone missing as well, it piqued my interest enough for me to inquire about it at our own university library the next day.

    Couldn't find it and then I turned to searching google. I found some links, but tonight to my horror the mechanical voice called me on my cellphone. No caller ID, just this horrible cold mechanical voice reading numbers.

    I'm fucking scared!
