Wow... I remember playing on a pair of those at COSI, the Center of
Science and Industry, in Columbus at their Virtual Reality exhibit
12-ish years ago.

My recollection was that they came with Amiga 3000s, but I wonder if
the app would be any smoother or faster responding running on an
A4000.  I presume the TMS34010-based video card would migrate over,
but I don't recall if they did anything funny with the A3000 itself,
like custom boot ROMs or any shortcuts that would prevent dropping in
a 68040 or faster.

I think one of these made an appearance in "Hackers" (1995).
