Shield? Cutting board? Dunno why Roll 'n Rocker looked like this, but it did not conquer the market.

Do you want to be the king or queen of the dance floor? Forget the dance mats, Just Dance! – Roll 'n Rocker is the controller you need. This unusual design was released by LJN in 1989 and, as you can guess from the title, was compatible with the NES console. Using thee Roll 'n Rocker as controller replaced the D-pad, so it allowed you to move forward and backward (yes, just that part, no A or B buttons). A standard NES controller was also required for full game control.

As for the games that could be played (although this alone is an exaggeration) with Roll 'n Rocker, these were all NES games, except for those that used the Zapper.
