Anyone hear of Sacker One? Air ride game

Now that is something I would love to see. That was probably the only one ever made though and is long gone. :(
 
I can guarantee that never made it to market. Imagine the liability issues with that thing.
 
Oh man, how do you stop it once it starts rolling? Very cool predecessor to the R360.

Saker One. I remember reading about this in video game magazines back then. It had small vanes controlled by a joystick to orient the sphere. A bit more information here.
 
It was real and it made it into the arcades. There was one at arcade I used to frequent as a kid. They wanted something like $5 for 3 minutes of play which was outrageous back in the 80's. So I didn't play it.
A couple of years back, a friend ran into the old owner of the arcade and he still has it and it is still working. Apparently it uses an Atari 2600 on a UPS for the game part and the movement was just wired into the joystick.
