Synopsis

1071/5000
The Atari Mindlink was a new controller for the Atari 2600. It was due for release in 1984. The Mindlink was unique in that you had to move the muscles in your head to control the game. These movements would be read by infrared sensors and transferred as movement in the game. Games would be similar to those that used the paddle controller, but with the Mindlink instead. Testing showed that players often experienced headaches when moving their eyebrows to play the game. Although Atari may have tried to refine the device over time, Atari simply decided to shelve the Mindlink. Two games were in development for the Mindlink by its cancellation, Bionic Breakthrough & Mind Maze.
