The bottom picture is of a atari 2600 controller called the joy board made by amiga.
I got this with a sking game you set it on hard floored surface on the bottom is a small spring loaded circle that is like a d pad you stand on and lean where you want the skier to go.I guess you could say it is a antique wii fit board

I remember the Joyboard! Yeah it was crap on carpets, needed room to tilt.

My contributions, a couple strange birds by Splitfish for the PS2, came out BEFORE the Wii.

N64 bio sensor.

For those who don't know, the N64 bio sensor was a heart rate monitor that was only used by the Japanese game Tetris 64.

I'll add this guy:



This is the original 5200 rf adapter.

For some strange idea/drunken designer, came the idea of putting both the RF and power switch together.

This is only on the first version, the four port 5200. If you find the two controler system, then you can use the regular 2600 rf cables.

Did anyone ever play The Irritating Maze in the arcades?

When I lived in Utah, there was a mall arcade (Tilt) that had this game. You had to use a trackball to roll a ball through a maze, but if you ever touched a wall, then the game would shock you, flash strobe lights in your eyes, ring an obnoxious buzzer, and blast stinky air in your face.

Here's a large promotional image for the machine:

This looked so cool when I was a kid. heh.

You think that Sonic Blast Man is weird? Machines like that are very common in arcades around here.

Now, on the same vein you have "Fighting Mania" (First of the North Star) by Konami, which is a more developed game on the same idea, with six different pads to hit! Here's a video of it:
