Games that use smell

[Nicola]

2 questions about smells in games

1-Before thinking that I became completely crazy, please let me know if you remember about any game that uses smell.
I mean, games touches almost every sense: you see it, you touch (rumble, force feedback...), you hear it...
Sight, hearing, taste...

Do you know about any game that uses the smell sense? Maybe a strange japanese arcade game, or a console game with some sort of Odorama?

I'm not yet asking about the taste sense. And the smell that cartridges and CD-DVDs have...

2-btw, I know that in the automobile industry, the smell inside a car is a part of the product. It's an important and studied quality.
Do you know if it's the same with consoles (and games)?


Weird questions, I admit it.

Humm that is a very interesting question. I cannot think of too many games that had any sort of smell feature, but I do remember that the Commodore 64 game "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" used a scratch and sniff card to give you an idea of what the smells were like in the game.

I always thought Infocom made such innovative games with The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy being my most favorite one!

Larry 7 also uses a sniff card When you enter different places an icon with a number will flash down right corner or something and a cool voice saying "Cybersniff 2000" indicating that you shall smell the particular number on the sniff card. Neat feature.

EarthBound had the scratch & sniff cards, but they weren't integrated into the game in any way.

But if you're counting those, too, then there were also the promotional scratch & sniff stickers for the GBA Classic NES series.
Super Mario Bros. - Pizza
Donkey Kong - Bananas
Ice Climber - Wintergreen/Mint
Excitebike - Rubber tires
Zelda - Grass

Bowelmovent Boy 3 - Return of the Transverse Colon

Now that game was a hugely smelly game

...and they were about the most disgusting thing I have EVER smelled. They managed to give me a bad impression of the game before I even played it. Seriously, the first one I tried nearly had me hurling.
