Got to see one of these in person today! It's an Atari Video Music. Basically a hardware music visualizer. You may remember the crazy effects Winamp and Windows Media Player 9 had. This was that in physical form. Munchies not included.
@ctrl-alt-rees.com did a video on this, link in reply below.

How did Mega Drive masterwork Streets of Rage II fare under 90s UK tech news and game reviews show Bad Influence's review scrutiny?
Bad Influence's remit was to have the target audience review the games they featured as, well, they'd be saving up/asking for and playing them.
