Geek Inside: Nintendo Power Glove
August 9, 2008 - 11:28 am - Posted by Sean R.
Last week I posted about the NES Power Glove and how I never owned one as a kid. Well that has all changed as of today:
I couldn’t get an answer on a firm price from my friend, so I started to poke around eBay, local thrift shops, etc.
After a little searching I was able to acquire the Power Glove complete with the sensor bars, however no manual for $10.00 USD.
I tested it out last night and it works pretty good… at least for an accessory that didn’t do a whole lot back in the day.
I’m not sure how much I’ll use my Power Glove now that I own one, but it’s a pretty cool show piece.
A little about the Power Glove:
The Power Glove (1989) is a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System designed by the team of Grant Goddard and Sam Davis for Abrams/Gentile Entertainment, made by Mattel in the United States and PAX in Japan.
Though it was an officially licensed product, Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory.
My next mission is to track down a instruction user manual for the Power Glove so I can figure out how to program it for different features and controls.
