Nintendo's Robotic Operating Buddy

WhatYouTaughtMe

Anybody have one of these growing up? Only worked with two games. It's a shame it never caught on. I thought it was the future. Maybe someone shut it down prematurely before it could become something beautiful...

Everyone should have a ROB at some point, growing up or not.

Yeah, the glove only worked with two games as well. It's funny to compare devices from that time period to stuff today. Although some of those 8 bit games still bring me joy.

Wasn't there a group of fetishists who were, um, into the power glove?

I should have kept my old NES...I had very few games, and the gun, but I do kinda miss it, it was in pristine condition, because I was 'that kid'.

Hahaha.

I loved Jackal and of course Tecmo Super Bowl is a game I still play once in awhile.

Seriously? I'm afraid to google that one. I guess it's better than the glove being into them...

Maybe I'm just thinking of that early Big Bang Theory episode.

Edit: Nope. Just Googled. This was, indeed, a thing.

Remember waiting for an hour for the screen to load when you entered the bar because you thought there would be a lady there waiting?
