joeybastard Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Well the title says it all really. I'm looking for the maraca controllers for the DC with or without the Sambo CD. I would prefer real Sega maracas but would take 3rd party if that's all I can get. At the moment I don't have much to trade so I'll pay good old US currency for these.

NE146 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I knew when I bought them new at 80 bucks although it seemed steep at the time, that I wouldn't regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerthehun Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Joey - Good luck on your quest. They have dropped a bit on ebay as of late - that, I think, is your best bet. DO NOT get the 3rd party maracas - even if they are cheaper. I went thru 3 different pairs, from 3 different companies - and they all SUCKED!!! I finally decided to "buck up" and get the real deal - and haven't regreted it at all... Samba is one of the most amazing gaming experiences - a very "be here now" zen moment - I love it. So, don't bother with anything but the real McCoy. If you're going to Philly, I'll bring my maracas along... no, not to sell - but I'm always up for some head to head maraca shakin'. (I've got two sets.) Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 i got mine from lik-sang and they´re great! had a lot of fun with them... http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?category=...be91700125c5ff3 and the best thing: only 25$ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Anybody buy from Lik Sang? Are they trustworthy? I've heard of them a few times but have always been hesitant to buy outside of the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yes it´s a dangerous world outside the US... I bought two times at Lik-Sang and haven´t had any trouble... you will have to pay some shipping of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charin Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Maraca controllers? Too weird for me... I still prefer the good ol' joysticks... Sergio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Anybody buy from Lik Sang? Are they trustworthy? I've heard of them a few times but have always been hesitant to buy outside of the US. I've spent a few hundred bucks at Lik-Sang and they've always been trustworthy. Shipping is usually $15+ so I wait to get a few things from them before ordering.

joeybastard Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Thanks guys, I'll check them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I may have to do that too. I bought a copy of Samba for $5 and I think maracas would definitely heighten the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 The price is $25 but the shipping is $30! Ouch. I'll probably order them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Stupid question, but can you retrofit something to make the casting mechanism in the fishing rod controllers work? Just a question. No idea how Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 I'm pretty lucky if I can plug the controllers in correctly the first time. To paraphrase your status modifying the fishing controller would be unpossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
