E3 is going on right now (as you can probably tell by the inadvertent flurry of video game posts today).
Upon discovering Xbox 360's upcoming Project Natal, Work Dave was reminded of a far more inferior, rudimentary motion-controlled gaming system.
The Sega Genesis Activator.
One could easily brush this aside as a parody at first, based on the ridiculously difficult and counterintuitive "easy" instructions.
"On the subject of awesome technology for gaming systems, I owned one of these bad boys and could never get it to work. As you’ll see, just as they commercial explains..its very easy to use. The B button is panel 3, the C button…well that’s panel 8, want to access the start menu…throw both of your arms behind you at the same time…"He also added that to get the Activator to work properly, the Sega technician suggested that his family turn off all the lights, make sure the walls are painted white and let the sunlight in. And it still didn't work.
