The Konix Multisystem was a great endevor by Konix after the sucess of the Konix joystick. It promised the earth (hydraulic chairs, sterring wheels, etc.). Konix was spread too thin and the system never saw the light of day. Some say the hardware is what is currently in the Atari Jaguar, but this is unlikely since the Konix Multisystem had a 16-bit processor and the Atari Jaguar had a 64-bit one.
