Diagram detailing the inner workings of the Dragon Grip sound generator
The Dragon Grip features a joystick/controller-like grip with a four-way directional pad, an audio circuit housed in the body and a front-facing speaker
As the user simulates kicking, blocking and chopping through dozens of evil opponents, the sounds of punching, karate-type chopping, karate-type slashing, slapping, and swooshing mis-strikes can be recalled and played through the handheld device
Fans of kung fu games and movies trying to emulate their heroes can now add authentic sound effects to simulated fight sequences with Dragon Grip
Article Summary
Imagine if you could accompany all those cool new moves you've just learned from Mortal Combat or reruns of Bruce Lee's finest celluloid moments with some genuine sound effects ... it would be like actually being in the game or movie. With a Dragon Grip in your Fist of Fury, that's precisely what's on offer. The joystick-like device is pre-loaded with fighting sounds inspired by the cheesy-but-classic kung fu movies of the 1970s like Enter the Dragon, that had all the kids in our neighborhood running around barefoot and shirtless with red lipstick wounds painted across their chests.
