Oldsmobile seat control can actually work as an Atari joystick

Jason Torchinsky was able to figure out a way use an Oldsmobile seat control as an Atari joystick. Talk about a crafty piece of technology used on a relatively old gaming machine. Torchinsky used the power seat control switch panel from an 80s Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser and reportedly rewired it to function as a controller for an Atari 2600 console.

“I then had a waking dream of the grand possibilities of playing old video games with control pads sourced from cars.
