Worst video game accessory

[deacsoft]

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.

ok dude, did you ever PLAY a super scope 6? It was pretty dope.

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?

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.

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 (not sure if this was any good)

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

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

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.

I actually still have my orignal ROB robot from my first NES system. It never worked right...
