There is a link in the auction.

 

And people, please quit posting ebay links in the 2600 forum.

Whoa, I've never come across anything like that, ever. The fact that it's with a manual and seems unused makes this very very suspicious.

 

also, why this might be a bit picky, that manual seems a bit too modern to me. I would say this would be a mid 80s to early 90s product, not anything during the "golden age" of atari gaming. at least not 1982 ish.

 

of course I could be wrong ( I hope! I want to see what this might be!).

 

Edit: Thanks CPUWIZ, it's not for 2600, that's why it threw me off. what a weird concept for a game.

A friend of mine had one of these back in the early 80s. Among the little demo apps was a simple balloon game where you tense & relax the muscles in your forehead to raise & lower the balloon's height. I think you had to fly the balloon through obstacles like Barnstorming or something. Couldn't play very long though or the muscles in your forehead would start to hurt.

 

I don't think it responded very well either. Getting frustrated by the bad controls would make your forehead muscles tense up and it controlled even worse. The novelty wore off quickly.

I didn't read the entire auction obviously

and figured maybe someone could help me understand what it was!

Was it that big a deal to post an auction link? I dont see the point???

I wanted more info on it like does anyone have one and what good is it for and stuff

and I posted the link for reference only since the listing was OVER!

Seriously I do not see why posting a link for reference is a big deal, especially when it is over.

Visuals always help discusion and that is all I was after.

I just wanted some info and I didnt notice the link or I would have used it and yes I feel dumb now that I see it and I dont think of using Atarimania as much as I should I suppose.

I saw it, I headed here instead of reading the entire listing because rarely is there a link and since I searched the entire AA Database and found nothing, I decided to ask everyone for any input.

I would still like anyones info on it because it seems to me like a device that was made using Mindlink technology maybe or jus similar and I find the Mindlink fascinating.

I wont post anymore links in the sacred 2600 section, dont worry.

 

Please, if anyone cares to share any experiences with this product, please share. Thank you
