2. The Atari Mindlink
Let me remove those face palms I just heard smacking across the land. This didnt get a release to the public, thankfully. The Mindlink was someones idea, while the gaming scene was just trying to find its feet after the industry crash of 1983, of controlling a game via brain movements and eye brow raises. Yes, the brain and eyebrows. In 1983. They didnt plan to move the graphics forward or improve on gameplay; it was a straight leap to the top with mind control games, with a lot of eyebrow pain. The surprising part of this whole story, brace yourselves, is that it simply didnt work. Testers complained of headaches and probably the delusion of the creators. The only saving grace throughout this whole mindless attempt was the guy in the promo photo wouldnt look out of place in the fashion world of today. http://youtu.be/sg67H_O7bNs
