Games that use smell

Bump for more infos about the "device made in the 90's I believe to have smell in games"

Someday we weill have true VR with taste and smell.

And there will be SHITEATER viruses for it. Yay for technology!

!! I laughed my ass off, dude. Funny, and totally possible.

Wouldn't that suck if your PC or console just kept spewing out eau de SHIT and you had to wait for a patch to come out before you could play!?

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.

Really? Which one? I remember pickles and pizza and I thought they smelled really good.

The November 1999 issue of Wired has a six-page article on DigiScent, which is archived online:

I can't find any of the original press releases, but I found a small news piece in my company's archives to show that they intended DigiScent to be used in game development:
