ACTIVATOR!

That was complete shit.  My friend got it and when you are in fifth grade you believed the commercials and magazine ads.  At his bday party we all lined up to play Mortal Kombat and when the shit we were doing didn't translate to the screen, talking about how much Activator sucked became the hit topic for weeks to come.

I'd managed to block it from my memory until you reminded me of its existence. 

I remember having to support that in at-least one game before the stupid thing died a well-deserved death.   

It was horribly inaccurate and slow to respond. 2-levels (high and low) on each of the 8 segments, IIRC.

Is there a master list of herp derp PCE accessories?

Natural evolution of the concept...

null, be careful.  you shouldnt share images of products you are testing until the press release comes out.
by the way... did you find the perfect fit yet? 

[xelement5x]

I actually still have an Activator, it's a pretty horrible product but Sega could sell almost anything back in the Genesis days. 

I still would love to get an Aura Interactor some day, I keep waiting to find one locally but have never lucked out yet.

it's basically a subwoofer with a creepy cover that you sit on to get blasted in the ass by shouryukens .

Is it only for CD games? Because the PC Engine does not (or cannot) make sounds low and loud enough to be benefitted by a subwoofer. A high-fidelity sound chip it is not. Pretty much mostly midrange.

It's an air cushion that vibrates.

Thank you for driving this thread directly into the ground. It's all your fault, nullity.

If there is, I'm sure esteban has scans of them.

The Blazing Lazers Arrange really was intended for the Virtual Cushion (as a joke, years ago). I was going to buy VC and I wanted to see what sorts of music created the best experience (i.e. disproportionate bass, but not too gratuitous). I just wanted to goof around with the obscure audio gimmicks from the era (there is another wacky thing.... Roland Sound System? that you'll find on a game or two? I can't remember). I don't think the Pac-Land soundtrack has particularly booming bass, but, hey! All the more reason to slap the Virtual Cushion all over it
