Module Information

Surf's Up never came to the shops. It was the third game designed to the JoyBoard Controller.

Company Information

Another company that was founded by a former Atari employee (Jay Miner, he was involved in the development of the Atari 2600 console and the Atari 400/800 computer). Jay Miner left Atari in 1981 and founded the company Hi Toro, which was renamed to Amiga Corporation shortly after. Amiga produced several games for the Atari VCS, but only three of them were actually finished. "Surf's up" was never sold, "Off your Rocker" was only sold in small numbers by Happy Valley Video (Pleasant Valley Video). "Mogul Maniac" was therefore the only game which was officially sold by Amiga. The special thing about Amiga was that also joysticks and of course the Amiga Joyboard (the controller was sold in a bundle with "Mogul Maniac") were produced. In this phase Jay Miner also had the idea to develop a new computer, which actually resulted in the Commodore Amiga. But that is another story...
