Give A Workout To More Than Just Your Thumbs

Posted by Zonk on from the my-thumbs-are-huge dept.

RosethornKB writes "Over at Killer Betties, we have an article on all the fitness games available on the market currently. From the article: 'Perhaps it was the Nintendo Power Pad that issued in the era of interactive and athletic workout videogames, but the results were less than thrilling and the new technology did not takeoff as intended. The Nintendo Power Pad - a twelve button (6 red and 6 blue on one side or 2 red and 6 blue depending on what side you were using) mat with sensors that corresponded to the presses you inputted for certain games that supported the peripheral - hardly made an impact when it was released in 1988.'"
