- I have this one!! Mogul Maniac (for the Atari 2600/VCS or whatever it
- is called now) came with a strange controller --a flat, pivoting board
- called the "Joyboard" that you stood on and gyrated to move! You could
- use the joyboard in other games, too (heh, Pitfall got REALLY hard), and
- there was a plug where you could connect a regular joystick to make use
- of the button. [Or you could just play Mogul Maniac with a regular joy-
- stick.]

- I don't think this has anything to do with Commodore. In fact, if memory
- serves correctly, the original Amiga computer was designed by Atari (and
- wasn't the ST a Commodore machine?) before all the big management changes
- happened between both companies.
