One day I hope to be as knowledgeable and charming as The Gaming Historian. Such a class act!

Legitimately one of the best youtube channels ever. No filler, all thriller. His Tetris documentary is a must watch.

I remember this and the TeeV Golf club from the Angry Video Game Nerd’s Sega Activator video.

Man what potential. If only they had developed a game that was packaged with the bat instead of trying to fit through everyone elses programming. Thanks for sharing!

I used to own a similar device in the early 2000s, before the Wii was released. I used to be able to play baseball and golf with two different devices. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what it was called.

The problem was that it wasn’t VR at all. None of the games that existed for the home consoles at the time had any way to register the input of a swing, only a button press as it was made to do. They needed to build their own game, perhaps even game console, that was dedicated to being played this way. I’m not surprised at all that they never made money this way. At this point your 10 year business is a hobby that you spend exorbitant amounts of money on.
