Intellfan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I stole this from facebook but I thought it fitting R.I.P. Jack LaLanne, who worked with Mattel Electronics to create a physical fitness program for the Intellivision keyboard component. LaLanne was always looking for innovative ways to bring fitness into people's homes, and computers were a logical step. The program is seen briefly in this clip from 1980. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYdYL_DPrrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 There's a good youtube video of the Keyboard component demo cart that has a nice clip of the Physical Fitness program. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I forgot about that Jack Lalanne game. Was this to be the first fitness video game? I dont remember any other ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I forgot about that Jack Lalanne game. Was this to be the first fitness video game? I dont remember any other ones. There was a Physical Fitness cart for the TI-99 but I'm not sure what year it came out . 80-81 would be my guess. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
