I was wondering if there was a way to recreate the pad or hack
something that would work like the pad.  The game itself looks rather
interesting, and it would be nice if it were playable.

It would help to have more information about how it was used and
how it connected to the machine.

I'm guessing it was a "touchpad" kind of device that attached to
the game/joystick port like a Koalapad...  Has anyone tried a
Koalapad?  (Of course, there may be some "recognition" device
in a Future Pad that the Koalapad is missing.)
