A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling The breast is the upper Ventral region of an animal’s Torso, particularly that of Mammals including Human beings. The bulges were squeezed in order to control the action. This was done because some members of Atari jokingly mentioned that joysticks curiously resembled a phallus.

Later versions of the cabinet replaced the controls with standard joysticks. The game was not well received by the public.
