To do
- Hm. So there are more games? And they have... software codes, and were available separately. Look into eventually converting this article to a proper system, and creating subpages for the separate games.
- Also for the above, how were these games distributed? USB sticks? What does the system actually run, OS-wise?
- Section about other interactive urinals, a very brief history of the idea, and most importantly the note that while all the rest of these were more or less art projects/experiments/etc, the Toylet was really the first that was like, an actual product. I mean its still kinda in the realm of like "limited release" etc, but this was the most legitimate push in this concept.
