Here's a real world version of the aiming mechanism from Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move that's synced with what's happening in the game. It's mostly cardboard plus some bamboo skewers, rubber bands, a deodorant roller ball, two nails, and some 3D-printed pulleys.

The game's running in MAME and a Lua script is watching the memory locations for the aimer and the next and current bubble colours. The script sends data to an Arduino UNO which updates the LEDs and a servo motor in close to real time.
