Скачать или смотреть ScreenToyz Screensavers: $10 Million Failure from 1994 🎃 An LGR Halloween Thing

Taking a look at Creative Insights ScreenToyz! Gimmicky mid 90s peripherals that plug into a computer keyboard port letting you control "interactive screensavers"... so, a game then, right? Ha. Yeah they sure tried something, charged $50 for it, failed spectacularly, and that's how you end up on LGR 30 years later.
