How's this for a poll?

What is your favorite LAME peripheral for the Genesis?

-Activator
-Menacer
-Miracle Keyboard
-Mega CD Karaoke Attachment
-Telegenesis Modem (or Mega Modem in Japan)
-Exercise Bike (forget what it was called)

There are surely more options that could go here that I'm not thinking of.

The Activator... DEAR GOD the Activator... the Menacer is fun for a few minutes, and the rest have their uses, but the Activator doesn't even work.

Anyway, good poll idea.

Activator
Never used one, but from what I gather, novel concept, but bad execution.

Menacer
Lightguns are cool, but a lack of software killed this.

Miracle Keyboard
Fun for the kiddies.

Mega CD Karaoke Attachment
Karaoke is really popular in Japan, so I wager this was popular there, and kind of worked. I can see why many people think it might suck.

Telegenesis Modem (or Mega Modem in Japan)
Who want's to play a crap Mahjong or Baseball game over a phoneline? A few downloadable games was nice, but didn't take off.

Exercise Bike (forget what it was called)
Good... if you want to feel the burn!

I think the Mega Anser takes the cake, who wants to do banking with their MegaDrive?!

That whack-a-mole one was pretty retarded.

the Activator works, but not well with the games it was marketed for.

Had Sega paired the Activator with Virtua Fighter which uses only A, B, & C it would worked well.

VF + 32X + Activator = something amazing

Ha! I was actually planning an article on all the lame peripherals for the Genesis. Looks like there's an audience!

Seeming how I have never used any of these, I would probably refrain from voting. But, I think the Activator is bad.

I have an eentsy beetsy amount of curiosity to try the menacer on the 6 game cart and T2: The Arcade Game.

THese last 4 for reasons they are rare, Sega was really trying to get the Japanese to notice the Mega Drive.

-Miracle Keyboard
-Mega CD Karaoke Attachment
-Telegenesis Modem (or Mega Modem in Japan)
-Exercise Bike (forget what it was called)
