Came across this on Gizmodo and had to share it. I’ve never been much of a gamer, but my Excite co-founders were all into gaming and were fanatic about the Super Mario games, particularly Super Mario Kart. Add to that the fact that I’ve always been intrigued with the Theremin, ever since figuring out it was the instrument responsible for the famous flat-7 interval in the first two notes of the Star Trek theme song, and you have a YouTube video that appealed to me on multiple levels, including the cool free-space hand control scheme that the Theremin employs.
