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

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...

Apparently, that person who was playin' 1942 at the beginning was the one person in existence, who managed to get the one Power Glove, that worked the way it was supposed to.

Honored to be some small part of this one, dude. Blown away by the detail and production here, thanks for all the hard work!

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!

Your videos are like a behind the scenes reel for things our generation lived through. One of the best channels on YT.

This is by far some of the best content produced for the channel. Make videos at whatever pace you want Norman this was totally worth the wait.

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.

That's right kids. Glass Joe was the reason we have the Power Glove.

I used the hell out of my Power Glove. When I broke my controller I had to use the one built into the glove for about 2 months until I could make the money to get a new one.

All they had to do was make it a pair of gloves and then create a Mike Tyson's Punch Out 2, a ping pong game, and an air guitar game.

I said to myself, "why do you need 27 mins for a power glove video?", now I know. This is the most informative content about the power glove, ever.

The power glove is one of those things that everyone hated but is somehow still remembered fondly

I think it could have been a more fondly remembered novelty if it had waited for a few games designed specifically for it before being released. That glove ball one works quite well.

In retrospective, the power glove wasn't bad, it's the management of how the idea was to be realized that was. They were too enthusiastic and thought the power glove would sell only because it looked cool, but didn't put enough effort in creating content for it. Amazing video btw!

I saw this, and I thought to myself, "I am not going to watch a half hour video about the power glove..." then I started watching and saw the documentary format and I was hooked. Good job.

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 games they were making exclusively for the glove looked interesting. If they had waited until 2 or 3 games were completed it may have been a different story. But I guess publishers never change.
