Hey,
Where did you get an adapter for plug in your powerglove into your PC? I couldn't find one so we just engineered here at work one instead.

on a related note... why did the power glove never catch on as a controller type... I'd prefer that to Wiimotes

Did you ever try to play a game with the PG? When it worked, it was very terrible.

Never really played it... just thought it was a cool concept.. surely it could have been refined by now

Hell, I thought the original Nintendo Zapper™ was a better design than Wiimotes

You mean where the entire screen turns white for 2 frames?

Being old enough to actually have used them before I'll tell you the reason it never caught on was because it was a total piece of goat s***. It's so bad.. SOOO BAD.. You have no idea how bad. I don't know how Nintendo who is usually a quality company ever considered putting something like that out. Everyone who ever paid for one should sue Fred Savage and the Wizard for false advertisement.

The NES Advantage was pretty good though for some games..

hahaha... I was definitely into NES but I never tried the glove... Is that the reason controllers remained relatively unchanged (Except for adding analogs) from NES to 7th Gen?
