Vietnamwar videogame: smell of napalm in the morning.
The sims: baby pooped.
Survival game: that lump of flesh is rotting.
Smell you later

TL;DR it worked but was often considered a poor, synthetic, replacement for the real world scents. Some people liked it, but most seemed to dislike it.
“Smell-o-Vision” was predated by “AromaRama” and followed by “Odorama” and some other scratch and sniff attempts. Various motion or “4D” rides have also tried to incorporate smell, then often drop it.
Audiences just don’t like it.
