Dear George,

The hand-held control for the Nintendo 64 has a slot in the bottom of it, into which you can plug "additions" to the control. One of them is a memory card, to allow you to save games, scores, points, worlds, whatever. Another of them is called a RumblePak, and what it does is ... well .. shakes. The game program writer can make the thing rumble at the appropriate times - like when your character is shot, or feels a blast, or when a big engine is going by you. It's cool.

And, it eats batteries.

So, having it built into the controller would be good.

Yours in video games, and small pin count memory interfaces,
