I was looking though one of my old Game Informer Magazines. A MUST READ for old school fans!!!!


MIND LINK -
System(s) - Atari 2600, Atari 7800 and Atari Comps



A comedic downfall :cry:

The project was used so that the player when focusing used the muscles on/by his temples by the eyes, it would move signaling to the controller, during it's debut for market selling, it was presented and many laughing did not beleive in it, if things could not go worse, the person showing it off working for Atari put it on his head and it fellbreaking not even being seen on commercials. The only prototypes left are in the hands of series Old School gaming collectors.

Ha! Now that's interesting! I bet they could do something like that sometime in the near future, however. It would definately have to be on a basic styled game, though. Not quite sure how they'd do it, but just about anything is possible, it seems....

Nintendo Revolution??? :?:

It was made by Atari but maybe they might be able to make one that taps into the thoughts like a person would dy dream out what the character does or somthing.

only problem with that is that people often have a hard time staying focused... if you think about something else, game over.

Yeah, it is VERY 80's! The only thing missing would be the guy holding his thumbs up and and having a huge smile on his face!

Speaking of 80's... I wonder where EvilNES has been?

That's true. :lol: But the guy is looking somehow... bored? Or what is it?

As for EvilNES... maybe he got one of that prototypes and was bored to death, like the one in the photo? Just a guess... :wink:

Maybe he's thinking about how much he'll get beaten up when the kids at school see this photo.
