Phantom Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Does anyone actually own a Mind Link? I'd love to see one that someone actually owns and how much are these worth if you were lucky enough to find one? It would have to be a preety penny wouldnt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 There is a full working system in the Atari Museum with Bionic Breakthrough. Matt Reichert of Atariproto's is wearing it in a photo from the Atariage Expo a few years back. I've tried it out several times, you really don't have to "try" very hard at all to make it work, you move your eyes back and forth and the paddle moves, its a freakiest damned thing.

rolenta Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) John Hardie owns one too, alothugh I don't know if it's a working one or not. There's a picture of him wearing it in the 3rd edition of Phoenix. Edited November 18, 2007 by rolenta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a picture of him wearing it in the 3rd edition of Phoenix. Wow, that Mind Link would be great for my collection. If anybody knows of one available, please LMK. I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than acquiring this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to ask the South Americans to go looking for these, they'd probably find them LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 What would it take to build one? Any schematics on them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I remember hearing the story for this thing back in the winter of 83 and thinking wow how incredible It wasn't until 2000 that I discovered they had actually made the thing and that it worked, after a fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 IIRC, there were three made? Curt, can you confirm? One working, one broken and one mock-up. The working one is the one Curt has. For some reason I remember the story that the one Jon has fell off the table at an Atari trade show/table and broke? There was a third one but it was a model only, non-functional. Apparently migranes are pack-ins with the games. I would have preferred a poster C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
