181.0. "Freedom Stick" by PHAROS::WAGONER () Fri Dec 30 1988 12:50

    
    	From January 1989 Popular Science (w/o permission)
    
    		      	"Fun from afar"
    
    	You no longer have to sit tangled in wires with
    	your nose pressed to the screen to play video
    	games. Now you can control the action from the
    	other side of the room.
    
    	The Freedom Stick sends infrared signals to a
    	video monitor so wires (and eyestrain) don't
    	interfere with your game. Developed in Canada by
    	Camerica Corp., the joy stick has an automatic
    	rapid-fire switch and is compatible with Atari,
    	Commodore, Nintendo, and other systems. It sells
    	for $70.
