It has physical contols and it was a grey box that looked almost exactly like this except for the color scheme.  I was thinking that the thing sucked pretty bad also because i could never get the balls to easily go through the hoops.  And the thing sounded like you were running a blow dryer when you were playing it.  Im sure that this newly updated version will also ruins some kids birthday or christmas present for the year.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KrazyCalvin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2009 1:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mattel's Mindflex: now stressing brain muscles for $80]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/18/mattels-mindflex-now-stressing-brain-muscles-for-80/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/18/mattels-mindflex-now-stressing-brain-muscles-for-80/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had the same thing too when I was a kid, but I remember using knobs to control the airflow to move the ball up and down and side to side to go through the obstacles.
