Top Comments of this video!! :3
After several months of original research, I present to you the complete history of the Power Glove. This video was tough, as I had to learn not only about the glove, but the technology behind it. Hopefully I explained everything in a way everyone will understand.
If you enjoyed the video and learned something, please share! Thanks everyone!

Bringing a $10,000 cutting edge device in the 80's down to $23.00 in a matter of months is actually the most impressive thing here, also the call that 'This is stupid as hell nobody is gonna use this for two hours' is spot on and very wise, overall it's no shock the $23 dollar device didn't work as well as the tailored $10k one which I bet would've been very useful and actually work worth a shit...

The idiocy of Mattel's management is shocking. This video is a revelation to me. Thier engineers performed a miracle getting the price of the glove down, and some of the original game concepts they came up with look great. If Mattel had not tried to rush this thing out the door in five months it could have been a huge success. Why were they in such a rush!

my cousin got the power glove for christmas one year so i grew up playing around with one during the late 80's early 90's. he must have either lost or threw away the booklet that came with it because we would always hook it up and could never figure out how to use it properly. for us it was more of a toy to wear when you were pretending you were a robot or something lol.

I got one for Christmas when it came out. The marketing for this made it seem like the coolest thing for a kid my age. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment. It sucked so bad! Even with Punch Out it sucked. I still thought it looked cool so I cut the cord off of it and walked around with it on lol

The best thing about the Powerglove is the fact that this video was made.
