enjoyed a spot or two of “sword fighting” in school toilets – just to clear up any misconceptions
members of the fairer sex may have about such activities, this involves the clashing of streams
, not appendages. One of the unfortunateside effects of these duels can be fair degree
of spray ending up where it isn’t supposed to, creating extra work for those whose job
it is to keep such facilities clean. Now Sega is bringing restroom gaming into the21st century
with a video game that makes use of a pressure sensor built into the urinal to entice urinators
to keep their pee on target.
The “Toylet” – its actual name – consists of a sensor in the bowl of the urinal that measures both
the strength, length and location of the urine stream, and an LCD display located at head height.
The four games on offer include “Milk from Nose”, which pits the player against the previous user
in a competition for the strongest flow, “The North Wind and Her”, in which the user plays as the
wind to lift up a woman’s skirt, “Graffiti Eraser” that sees the player try and clear a wall of graffiti
on a wall with some high-pressure blasting and “Mannequin Pis” which tells you how much urine
you’ve discharged. Players proud of the urinary achievements can even download their scores
onto a flash drive.

by providing an incentive to stay on target, they could also provide Sega with an extra
revenue “stream” through the displaying of advertisements on the console’s screen before
the games.
Sega has installed the Toylets in four metro stations in – you guessed it – Tokyo, where they
will be trialeduntil the end of January
