Been looking through some of my old gaming magazines and I keep seeing this ad for this Intensor Gaming Chair thing. It looks/sounds ridiculous, as well as very '90s'.

Have any of you ma/vr/icks ever seen one of these in the wild, or even owned one? What were they like? Did they deliver? I have to admit to being confused by the whole concept.

If you have any other weird gaming paraphernalia or peripherals or any other 'p' words to share, feel free.

Is that a fan to cool your sweaty balls?

How would they come up with a family-friendly way to advertise that?

"Hot balls getting you down? Searing nuts holding you back from beating that boss? The Intensor Testicle-Cooling Gaming Chair is for you!" wouldn't really work.

>> No.634326

Haha. I don't have any info but I'd love to hear if anyone had the chair.

I just scanned this from my issue of Gamepro Aug. 1998.

I really can't believe that I'm seeing a mention of this. As a fifteen-year-old, and having no understanding of advertising, I can't begin to tell you how much I wanted this damned thing.
