This giant thing is the Power Console, a hyped add on for the failed SuperGrafX console, which was actually supposed to slide into this unwieldy thing (the console is what's sticking out the back). Why the fuck they thought anyone at all would want to have a controller that forced you to basically put the console on your lap in 1990, I don't know. You might think "Oh, with all of those features, it must have had to hook up to the expansion port, and that's why they did that," but no, it just hooked up to the one controller port on the console. There is literally no reason for this to not have just used a regular ass controller cord. Between that, the specialized flight yoke, the throttle, the big number pad, the dial, and the LCD and LED readouts, I can't see many games ever making much meaningful use of this monstrosity. Certainly not enough to justify the 60,000 yen suggested retail price. But this thing is so over the top and ridiculous I'm wondering if the point was more to get the press talking with a prototype than to actually release a product. Either way, I feel like you won't forget this once you spend a minute thinking about it, and I'd love for someone to find a functional prototype.
