“Hey Peter, what peripherals were connected to this port on the Super Nintendo? Well, I am going to tell you about one that you probably do not know: an exercise bike. The Life Cycle Exertainment was an exercise bike developed by the Life Fitness company in the mid-90s that could connect to a Super Nintendo,” he explains.
The recording already has 248,000 views and 11,000 likes, as it goes out explaining that there were few games for this modality, however, it made exercise time a more relaxed and fun time.
“It brought a device that was located under the console, and was connected to the bicycle through a network cable. It had few games available like Exertainment Mountain BikeRally that allowed you to exercise in a more fun way while playing video games. There was even a gym version that came with the screens built into the stationary bikes,” he adds.
The video on the social network showed the new generations what the console of the Japanese brand looked like, for which Internet users were grateful to the tiktoker after revealing a mystery that many of the same generation did not know.
Although it seems like an old piece of information, it is common to find out about this through the content of other people on social networks, since this digital window continues to be the best space for generations to share stories and even curious information like this.
