• Resumen

  • Chad Toprak of the Exertion Games Lab at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues have developed a game called Cart-Load-o-Fun that can be installed on buses, trains or trams. Cart-Load-o-Fun is similar to Pac-Man and involves two players who must work together to move a dot around on a screen, picking up gems and avoiding enemies. The players control the dot by squeezinq special pads fixed to the overhead handholds on a tram. One player moves the dot left and right, the other up and down. The movement of the tram is part of the fun because players have to steady themselves with the handholds while playing.
