HAL Laboratory, Inc. is a Japanese video game developer that was founded on February 21, 1980. Its name comes from the HAL 9000 computer in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL Laboratory started off making games for the MSX system and the Commodore VIC-20. The Joyball Famicom controller was made by HAL Laboratory. It’s simple; it’s just a big yellow ball that you push and rotate to move your character. The with A, B, Start and Select buttons are all on the top face. The Joyball is surprisingly easy to work with, even when playing a platformer like Super Mario Bros. 3. Of course, it’s not as easy as the standard controller, but it’s a great alternative. The buttons are placed in convenient places.
