|
The Konix Multisystem was an unreleased game controller by Konix, which was intended to follow the success of the Konix joystick. It promised advanced features such as a hydraulic chair and force feeback steering wheel. Development work was done in the late 1980s by Flare Technology based in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Unfortunately the system never saw its final release and Konix eventually folded. Konix was based on Flare One computer, and after it folded, development began on Flare Two which was bought by Atari and it became the Atari Jaguar game console.
