==Defunct date==

==List of company staff==
A couple articles claim 1992 as the defunct date, but there were still copyrights being filed in 1993, as well as the Personal Trainer being released then too. One of the articles (the angel investor one), she says "they stopped business, but Im still a shareholder, despite the shares being worth nothing. maybe someone will buy the patent." could the company possibly have gone out of business in (late?) 1992, and as the Personal Trainer was probably most of the way through manufacturing etc, they got their contracts to hold out for long to actually get that 1000 unit production run to store shelves... (on that note, source that 1000 unit number. Id be interested to see if thats truly 1000 manufactured, cause that would mean that 1000 didnt exactly make it to store shelves, plus I can absolutely imagine a bunch of these languishing in the back room of some gym liquidation services, or perhaps some old massive fitness center in california etc) ANYWAY, this shouldn't be too hard to eventually nail down, just some thoughts for now.

==''Outlander''/''Outworld 2375 AD''?==
 
The above Reddit thread brings this up too... in the Sega-16 article [https://www.sega-16.com/2004/08/genesis-accessory-peripheral-guide/ here], it says "Outlander 2375 AD". Obviously a typo, but- which game was Horowitz actually referring to? I feel like it was ''Outworld 2375 AD'', because I understand the Outworld > Outlander mistake, but I don't think it'd happen the other way around. Still, for the moment I'm not going to pull ''Outlander'' from the [[HeartBeat Personal Trainer]] article until I do a little more digging... what would be best is if we found the original source for that list of games. I'd imagine it shouldn't be too hard to track down... probably some old promo thing, maybe a press release or something. Anyway.
