Wirehead has the player controlling Ned Hubbard, a man with a wireless controller implanted in his brain, via the joypad.
The bad guys are chasing after Ned for his "mind implant", and of course, the only way to get it is to open his head. Reminiscent of Dragon's Lair, a path opens up, and the player has to choose the right direction, otherwise Ned will be killed.
