gaming gloves
« on: May 30, 2008, 05:19:34 AM »
http://vintagecomputing.com/ is awesome. I remember being intrigued by these gloves, which they just posted about.

either my thumbs got tougher or I started playing less, but my thumbs don't bother me much anymore when playing.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Thanks for posting this, I had totally forgotten about these.  The batman logo is bizarre.
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.

The Kaneko glove that came with the Genesis game Air Buster is all you need.

Those gloves are indeed goofy, but pale in comparison to the awesome found in a pair of Power Gloves.

Sure you can have a pair, but that doesn't mean that you can wear both of 'em at the same time.  :wink:

Check out my Air Buster/Aero Blaster comparison article and at the bottom is a clickable image of the glove.  Totally rad, dude!

I remember they were advertising these in gamepro magazine back in the day, I remember thinking "What the f*ck do these have to do with batman?"

I dont like them because they dont have anything related to gaming on them, its like some a$$hole made too much merchandise for the original batman movie and tried to remarket and pawn this shit off in the early 90's.
