Another NES Mystery

I know I'm long overdue on posts, I've been dealing with scoring some major items for my collection. I have a real gem on its way. Trust me it won't disappoint and you might get to see some T&A while you're at it.

Anyways, here are two pieces, sans the headphones and short audio cable, of what typically would make up  the "GameSounds" system. This system would allow you to "keep game private" according to the box.  This is kind of similar to the JoyCard Sansui controller, which  in my opinion works way better than this plastic turd. 

 
They're small and slim as you can see. The transmiter sends the sounds from your NES to your receiver.  The receiver is basically a shitty radio. Not only does it pick up the NES sound waves, but local radio signals as well. Now this is what it's supposed to do. I just can't figure out what channel I need to put it on in order to pick up the NES signals.  I think my transmitter is broken.  I don't know... Once again another fucken mystery. Maybe I need one of those 80's headphones with the car antenna and dial, or the original headphones designed for this accessory. 

You can see here the slide cover for inserting the 2 aa batteries they each take. It has a special clip that attaches securely to your fanny pack and the transmitter has velcro that fastened to the right hand side of your toaster.  They both have 1/8" inputs. That's all I have for this. It's probably a pretty good accessory if I had all the parts. Once again, if you know anything about this shit, please enlighten me via comments.

Bringing Sexy-NES with the Power Glove!

I remember after seeing the movie, "The Wizard" I felt incomplete because my NES collection lacked Mattel's Powerglove. This was the ultimate badass peripheral to have and still is.

Released in 1989, the Powerglove consisted of a fingertip less, rubber and mesh glove that you could adjust and fasten with a velcro strip. It came in different sizes so even Mr. Banana Fingers next door could try his gaming skills.
The glove had various buttons on the forearm area. It included the regular NES control buttons, D-pad, A and B buttons, select and start. Along with this it had programmable buttons with the digits 0-9.
The Power Glove is a pretty complicated device, a larger scale of the Wii controller. It sensed movement and in order to make this feature possible you'd have to attach this silly looking contraption, sensors (3), to your tube TV. I thought the fucken U-force was frustrating, and although the glove is a cool item to own, it was a pain in the ass to use.

There are codes, just like the U-Force that must be punched in for each game, but if you had any problems, you could always discuss them with the trained personnel, or Mario and Luigi and ask them how the fucken thing works.

The Power Glove has its own cord, that you plug into the box with phone numbers on it, or whatever the fuck you call it. It has what I think is an Atari/Sega imput, I'm not sure, I haven't checked to see if it is. Then from the box you plug it into the console. If you want specifics there's Wikipedia. All in all, I enjoy using the Power Glove on race games like RC ProAm and of course Rad Racer (this is the first game I used the glove with). But as we all know, there were only 2 games designed to be used with the Power Glove, these were Super Glove Ball and Bad Street Brawler. Super Glove Ball is actually pretty cool, Bad Street Brawler sucks ass. If you're even going to bother having an original NES, add the PowerGlove to your stash.

I love the Powerglove... It's so bad!
