Sega Toylets トイレッツ
Japanese Sega Corporations new video game hardware Toylets (toylets.sega.jp) is a new gaming platform with a whole new paradigm of user interaction. A pressure sensor is applied and the pressure exerted by a stream of urine aimed at the sensor serves as controls for minigames.
You can choose one of four games per session:
- The North Wind and Her: The stronger the pressure of your urine, the harder it blows off a girls dress.
- Graffiti Eraser: The stronger the pressure of your urine, the faster the Graffiti wall becomes clean.
- Manneken Pis: The pressure of the stream is directly translated to how much liquid was urinated.
- Milk from Nose: Two characters blow milk out of their noses to push the other out of the ring. The stronger pressure between you and the person that used that urinal before you wins. It’s a great sumo-like multiplayer game, but not in realtime.
