They had something called a "Joy Board" (if I remember the stories) based on joy stick principles. You had to balance on the thing. It seems their was a story of a skiing simulator coming out of this, with demo's by Susie Chafee of the US Ski Team. I think the Joy Board led to Guru Meditations because you had to balance on the board to keep the machine from Guruing. I think these stories, whether true or not, started with RJ Mical.
