Revision as of 01:40, 2 July 2022
To do
- Clarify the exact setup method, and what each individual cable/component does.
- Per a warning card shipped with the system, plugging two Catalyst adapters into a Mega Drive could damage the system.
- A brief section about the intended market. Seriously, who was this for? Rich kids who worked out a lot? Fitness-savvy adults who were also into video games?
- This whole page needs an overhaul. But ALSO, don't forget a brief section on the rumored game "It's Serious Fun". It's not an actual game, that we know, but where did the rumor come from? I'm 90% sure the phrase "It's serious fun!" is written somewhere on some HeartBeat literature as a tagline, and someone misinterpreted that as a game title, but get a source.
- Get sources for everything. Primary sources. Send those emails. Investigate where Video Game Kraken got all of its (seemingly-exclusive) information, and verify their sources. I remember one or two being somewhat suspect.
