Worst video game accessory
 

I just posted about the power glove in another thread. I'm trying to think of the worst video game accessories but will need some help before a poll can be made.

some i've thought of

NES Power Glove
Sega 32X
NES R.O.B. (Robotic Operation Buddy) I don't know anyone who ever had one of these, or how it worked, but I remember it just looked ridiculous
SNES Super Scope 6
Virtual Boy (not sure if this was any good)

Some of these ideas were just ridiculous. The 32X was such a flop it was funny. Can you think of any others?

I tried using the power glove, and remember it sucked balls. I remember one of my friends owning the robot, and they said it sucked, but I never tried using it.

Not really an accessory, but the N-gage was probably the biggest recent flop.

The number of seats and seat cover like things that have come out over the years that put a bass speaker under your ass to give you that full colonic immersion in the gameworld.

Re: Worst video game accessory
 

I've only used the super scope, but i'm almost positive it shouldn't be included in this conversation. It was a fine extention of the zapper, and while a little lame for it's size, is clearly not in the runnin for 'worst video game accessory'.

I might vote for the "power pad" for the old school NES. A mat you put on the floor to play games like track and field with. If I wanted to run around like a [censored] I'd just go outside.

See this is the exact reason that I can't understand how that Dance Revolution game became popular. Video games are not supposed to be exercise, I mean what the hell.

This was a great movie. The end where they break out Mario3 after he'd practiced a million hours on all the other games, BIMO.

NES Power Glove - no other contenders are even close.

Super scope was not all that bad.

The track mat was not all that bad either, I mean no kid can ever jump hurdles and do long jumps so it wasn't that terrible.

Power glove was the biggest piece of [censored] of all time.

Atari Mindlink

Introduced as a telepathic controller, it actually was based on eyebrow movements, and apparently after using one for 10-20 minutes you had an incredible headache.

Virtual Boy was cute, and a system rather than an accessory. Definitely not ready for prime time, though.

ya i used this. i thought it was pretty stupid.

as for the power pad that thing was awesome. i thought about it during this post but didn't include it due to it's awesomeness.

what about the fishing rod controllers they got? has anyone ever used one of those?

Re: Worst video game accessory
 

i say virtual boy, because it was so hard to play. I remember playing the tennis game and my eyes hurt like hell after 5 minutes. Everything is all red.

I had one bundled with my NES. Ridiculous is an understatement.

A little video game history...

The ROB was included with the original NES because after the big video game crash a few years earlier none of the major retailers would consider stocking a new video game system. With ROB nintendo was able to sell the system as a "Robot Toy" instead of a game system. Once it had become a hit they quickly stopped producing ROB.

The U-Force.

It was for the original Nintendo and sucked balls. It was this thing where you were supposed to be able to punch the air and it would read your hand movements or something.

I have no idea what games it could be used for other than Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I never had one, but I remember reading it was pretty much impossible to even beat Glass Joe with the thing.

I also need to add any wireless controller from 10+ years ago. They were all infrared, so you had to hold one about 12 inches from your Nintendo for it to work and get a constant signal. I had some for my NES and used them for about 7 seconds before I chucked them under my bed.

Power Glove is the first thing that came to my mind before I opened the thread.

Also The Wizard was an awesome movie.
