[::] The Mind-Reading Controller "Mind Link" [::]

In Other Classic Systems

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

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.

Wow that was cool to read,Atari were way b4 their time with this,mega cool that some peopl have the proto's they must be worth mega $.

Yea, I hope they become succeful in the near future



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

Interesting story.

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. 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...

I was thinking he looks more depressed than bored.

Bored AND depressed?

At least it doesn't seem like he had fun.

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

hahah!

I was thinking perhaps he's upset with his mother for making him where those highwater blue jeans and bland penny-loafers!

Who is Evil-Nes

Him:




HAHAHAHA!

Z.E.N, I haven't thought about a show like WKRP in Cincinatti for years! Now you have ME thinking of Loni Anderson's boobies!


That's a cool montage...

You didn't make me think of Loni Andresons boobs. Why? I don't know her.



This is what she used to look like a long time ago....


Maybe I have seen that face on TV...

I strongly suggest not looking for photos of her now... since that show hasn't aired in about 20 years...

The suggestion was too late.
I googled. I shouldn't have.

"The suggestion was too late.
I googled. I shouldn't have"

Good thing you warned me, I didnot want to be tramautized

Him:





He looks like he is a Nazi or somthing trying to take over the world with the POWer of Nintendo.

LOL

When I say lol... where's faille?



Does he post anymore? I checked his prof, he looks like a guy still living in the 80's or somthing (not a bad thing, kind of cool). I am guessing the POWer Glove is his trade mark

This forum needs a better laughing emotion face, the face here looks like he is being forced to laugh at a corney joke or somthing.



Well, EvilNES came and stuck around about a week, I think. I wish he would come back, he was quite a different character from the rest of us. Anyway, he posted this topic...



...then on a follow-up, Z.E.N posted this topic...



I don't think he thought it was funny. Maybe his sense of humor is lacking a little? I don't know. But he hasn't been back since around that time.

He shouldn't have been P****d of by that. I thought it was a quite cool guy.
Maybe he just has a (14month? ) vacation or so.
It'd be nice when he came back some time.

That's true.
He seems to have a good hand for such things.

He seems pretty funny too

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???

yeah NR will probably use it maybe. That would be interesting but i doubt that

I really would like to apologize for the reference I made earlier pertaining to "Loni Anderson's boobies". I was trying to think of an actress who was considered "desirable" way back in the early Atari era, therefore neglecting the fact that she's probably in her 60's by now.

But still... It's Loni Anderson.

Come on!

It's ok.
Most people wouldn't think as far as you and speak of a woman who was famous back then.

And back then, she really looked good.

Ha!



Yeah, you never know...



Oh... well, maybe it won't.

?

Ha!



Yeah, you never know...



Oh... well, maybe it won't.

?

haha yeah i kinda messed up. Its because i dont know you know lol maybe they will maybe they wont.
I doubt it though
