Ok, I have TWO of those and am trying to collect about 6-8 more!:laughing:
 
as for the most bizarre periph or device for the Amiga?  The X-Specs.  They work great but what an odd device!

Wow that baby simulator looks cool. I'll definitely have to try one :)

Seems a bit pointless though. I mean, what's the point in raising a toy baby just so it can p**s in your face when it becomes a teenager? :confused:

Xspecs 3D
Visual Aurals Mindlight 7
Four Player Adapter
Datalink Cable: for Stunt Car Racer, etc.
CD32 Controllers

1084S Analog Monitor:  It can display many different resolutions by automatically adjusting pixel size in hardware.  It displays 16M deep rich vibrant colors.  It can display multiple different resolutions on the same screen!  It can display 15.75Khz video signals.  In 2011 that is totally bizarre!

This thing:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyboard

Yeah, I know who made it and why, but I think the novelty of playing most early 1980s era games with one's feet would quickly wear off (I'm not talking about the modern dance-revolution or Wii Board type games that were designed for this type of play).

I could see it as being useful for those with limited use of their arms/hands though.

Lightgun, never really took off on the Amiga (or any platform really), but here is one on the Amiga.


and of course the 3d glass/virual reality units, i belive gloom supported them, would of been intresting to try out.

Weren't the ones for Gloom called Iglasses ? This was before Apple's big thing I suppose :)
 
To my knowledge, there were only two games supporting them. Don't recall the second title though.
