This episode, I take a look at the world's first commercially available 'foot controlled' peripheral for a home video game system... "The Joyboard," by Amiga, released in 1983 for the Atari 2600 and Colecovision game systems. The Joyboard came out during the video game crash and never got to see its full potential realized, until Nintendo stole the idea for the Wii Balance Board, nearly 25 years later.

Let's go see if this thing works, and what other things it can handle, and let me know your ideas about the Joyboard below in comments!

Subscribe, comment & like ;) ... if this episode brought you 'joy!'

Please note: No animals of mine were harmed in the production of this video. All scenes involving pets are for light entertainment purposes only. Thank you.
