Accessories have always been a part of gaming. Light guns for ducks and pads that you could run on. I even had a dance dance mat that I would jam on. And yes I am not to embarrassed to admit that :p. I lost a few pounds on that thing. But one accessory that was a big deal in the day was the power glove. You might have seen it in the movie The Wizard (and I'm sure you haven't). It was a glove that you wore that would let you control the action on screen. It also had a joypad on the back in case it didn't work and yes you needed it.
The problem was the glove didn't work. Well it worked, it did put input buttons and directions into the screen but it rarely was not what you wanted. So you ended up flail wildly hoping that your character would do one action that you needed to do. I had one and I remember using it for Punch-Out. I'm sure I thought I was so cool :p. You figure a game like punch-out would be perfect for it. You get to pretend you were little Mac fighting your way to Tyson. But all you ended up doing was punching the air as your boxer went down for the 10 count. You were lucky to get passed Glass Joe.
Any one use one of these?
