Video games
at bars are nothing new — you can find the occasional trivia game
sitting on a bar counter, and arcade games have been in bars for years.
But you've probably never seen a bar game quite like this: Sega has
begun to sell a urinal-mounted video game unit called Toylet in Japan.
The game interfaces with the
urinal itself to control the action on the game's screen, which is
mounted at eye level. To play the games, you'll need stellar aim, not
to mention the right amount of pressure and volume.
The video game system itself
costs 140,000 yen — about $1,750 — and individual games cost another
$125 or so on top of that. Some of the games include one where you fill
beer cans, a combat-style game where you battle by squirting milk out
your nose, and one where a hurricane-force wind lifts up a cartoon
reporter's skirt. Sonic the Hedgehog this is not, but we suppose it's a stretch to expect the Toylet to come equipped with family-friendly games.
Toylet actually serves a purpose
beyond entertaining bar-going patrons for the 60 seconds they're
standing at the urinal. According to Sega, players of the game are less
likely to leave a mess. The game also allows for advertisements to be
played as a way of increasing a bar's revenue. Owners can also add an
optional coin operating unit so they can charge per play.
While the Toylet certainly is
strange, we're hardly surprised to learn it came from Japan. They take
video gaming very seriously over there — after all, this is the country
that offered (and quickly sold out of) a$1,300 edition of Resident Evil 6, complete with replica leather jacket worn by a character in the game.
