The ZAPiT Game Wave is a fully functioning DVD game console and operating system that accommodates up to six players at a time, each with their own remote control. The Game Wave hooks up to a TV just like a regular DVD player, and offers trivia games, word games, card games, and others, that encourage activity, social interaction and a shared experience. The Game Wave can also play DVD movies, making it the ultimate family entertainment system.

"The flexibility and low cost of Altera's MAX II CPLDs enabled us to achieve our goal of developing a unique and affordable gaming system. The design freedom afforded by Altera’s solution allowed us to leverage standard components to minimize costs, while achieving high-end functionality normally attainable only with more costly devices."
