Wii FIT Board?!
Maybe no one knows it because of a bad marketing?
The time was not right for it?

The Joyboard was not a Commodore idea, it was an Amiga product, before they were bought out by Commodore._________________

He is referring to one of the first projects of the Amiga Team: the Joyboard.
Something conceptually very very similar to the Nintendo Wii Balance Board with even a Sky simulator included in boundle.
Ah the memories! I think that times were not redy at the time, they seem not to be ready today figure out before '85...

| I don't get these 'did **** steal from Commodore/Amiga threads', everybody borrows ideas from others. Commodore included...
Atari 2600 Joyboard
/edit/
Reading this wiki, there was one game made and released by Amiga for this joyboard Last edited by Kaos on 15-May-2009 at 01:32 PM.
