leolinden Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I got this thing called the "Joyboard". Made by Amiga for the 2600. Here are some pictures. Bought it for $5. Pretty rare for what I could find. Pretty cool because it is CIB. Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotatoBox Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 A very cool novelty to have. Doubt it would control very well. Seems like the wii balance board but 80s style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolinden Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 A very cool novelty to have. Doubt it would control very well. Seems like the wii balance board but 80s style. A lot of people compare the two. It's pretty interesting. Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Mogul Maniac is a skiing game to be used with the Joyboard. It was one of the titles included in the 2014 AA Winter Olympics HSC contest - http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221239-winter-olympics-atari-2600-closing-ceremonies/page-1 Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Strangely enough, there's one listed on Shopgoodwill as we speak in similarly pristine condition.

AtariBrian Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Five bucks! Great deal, I've bid on them on ebay, but never got one for a good price. Tell me once you try it out if it's worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolinden Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Tell me once you try it out if it's worth getting. It's probably not amazing. Probably not worth getting on a PRACTICAL usage, but is cool to have for the bragging rights Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think you should do an action/review video for your YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
