Keep those eyes out for working CRTs in thrift stores and garage sales. Or, I guess, estate sales? Or idk, whatever it's called when they give dead old people stuff away. It's a dying breed.

Point is, you need a curved screen and crazy strong scan lines. 4:3 ratio or bust.

Came here expecting to see a power glove. Am disappointed.

I love the Power Glove... It's so baaaaaad.

I don't see a Power Glove. You're only at maybe 10% total power without the Power Glove. It has THAT much power.

Its no coincidence that the 80s was the decade of greed and indulgence, and it was the same decade the power glove was released, but never replicated.

had one as a kid, it was terrible even by kid standards. I used to pretend to be a cyborg cop with it and my gray light gun though.

Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.

Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90's (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).

i'd love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks... Hmmmm...

Shouldn't your hands be all wrinkly or something?

Get you some plastic restore to take that yellow out.

Unless that's your jam.

Your posts make me jealous. I wish we were friends.
