I'm looking
to buy (or at least get a chance to look at) an original
Mandala virtual reality system for the Atari - the one that was sold by
Vivid beginning in around late 1989 or so. Basically works like the
Playstation Eye Toy.
Anybody have one or know who does?
Actually that was an Amiga driven system, not Atari. You can read the
specs about it here:

Is this the one where you stood on a round base, with a railing all
the way around at about waist height and you then put on goggles and
had a "gun"? Typically they seemed to be setup to play "Teradactiles
Revenge" <sp>, but once I got to play one where it was a sort of
dungeon crawl (in fact that was the last time I ever saw one in the
mid-90's). The one I'm thinking of was Amiga driven, but might be
different.
