The Game Wave came with RCA and S-Video cables, and 4 IR-based wireless controllers that look like DVD remotes and a case that holds up to 6 of them. The case and console can sit together on a shelf to form a complete wave shape.[4]
Controllers
The Game Wave controller has 4 direction buttons and an OK button used to navigate menus and control how DVDs play. The controller has 4 buttons with letters of the alphabet near the top, "A", "B", "C", and "D", mostly designed to make choices in trivia games. A set of number buttons with Menu and Setup buttons are below the direction buttons.[5]
The controllers came in 6 colors: blue, yellow, green, red, purple, and orange. The blue, yellow, green, and red ones come with the console, and the purple and orange ones could be bought separately for $30.[6] Each controller color's infrared flashes at different speeds, allowing the console to support up to 6 controllers at the same time.[4]
Games
Because of the shape of the controller and the company wanted the Game Wave to only be a "Family Entertainment System," none of the console's 13 games are action games. Most games are trivia and puzzle games. Most games are like TV shows and other video games.
