Experimental game console MAMLAS-1 (Maneuverable Module for Land Assessment) puts the player in the role of a space rover exploring distant planets. With a limited battery, their task is to collect as many mineral samples as possible, while keeping the system stable. The exhibited console is tailor-made for the game, with which it is fully integrated in both graphical and game design. It uses unconventional but intuitive controls more akin to music synthesizers or analogue industrial control panels than a regular game console. This is the first prototype of the console.
