Game Handler-- Freakazoid Gyroscopic NES Controller

[rbudrick]

Hey folks,

Anyone got any info on this controller. It's very unknown, as ar as I've been able to tell. It's a controller that operates by tilting it in whatever direction you want to go. Far more accurate that UForce or Powerglove, and far easier to use. It comes with a videotape on how to use it. I'm assuming it uses gyroscopes to calculate it's position in the air. Pretty cool, and very strange item!

I've had one for a while with packaging, video, everything. Unfortunately the plastic that composes the outer package is very brittle, and I can't imagine it will stand the test of time for as long as we collectors like to have our things last. However, anyone got any more info on this thing? Basically, wondering if anyone has any guesses as to rarity and value, since I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about it before.

Thanks!

The only thing I remember about this controller is that if you play Super Mario Bros and hold the controller upside down a certain way, it would make Mario run backwards. The ads promised all sorts of wacky antics like this for a myriad of games, but none of them ever surfaced...
