Sega has installed toilet games in bars and arcades across Tokyo. It’s called Toylet and games include measuring volume of urine, measuring power of stream, wiping a wall clean of graffiti and even controlling wind to lift a girl’s skirt up.
It sounds insane but also potentially awesome, the games use a pressure sensor attached to an eye level LCD screen for gamers to watch. Those who can pee hard and long will separate themselves from the soft and short. Sega says the games would be available to play only until the end of the month.
In addition to the Dynabook T551, Toshiba has also announced its new dynabook Qosmio D710 All-In-One Desktop PC onto the market.
