odd and obscure peripherals thread Anonymous Sun Mar 12 10:49:16 2017 No.3854934 [Reply] [Original]

Did you know anyone that had a power glove /rg/?

I did not but my cousin had a R.O.B.

Over the years, I didn't fall much for the obscure peripherals but I did own the following.

Dreamcast kb and mouse - popped my cherry for online FPS with Quake 3. I think I died 50 times before making a frag.

Dreamcast broadband adapter - for when you were making your parents keep dial up in addition to just getting cable and because I was obsessed with both Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.

Fun fact - between me playing my order for the broadband adapter and me receiving it, Sega announced they were leaving the hardware business. I sold my DC along with everything for it for a Geforce 2 with 64 megs of VRAM.

I have gone through many peripherals since but not obscure ones really.

I dunno how much that video card cost but the broadband adapter was worth a pretty penny there for a while because it was the way DC games were dumped for ripping

Contender for most useless but still widely made and sold peripheral ever

Reminds me of the HES Unidapter which I'm not going to post a pic of because I don't want to drum up more competition for finding one of the damn warlocks

I was going to just post some cliche thing like the Laserscope or XE-1 AP but I guess I'll toss you a bone with something fresher I've actually been sort of pursuing but have about given up on between the rising price, already having a Coin Controls arcade stick and kind of wanting to switch my 5800 stuff for XE stuff.

I know a few people who blew money on a power glove. Never had one my self or a ROB but have a wonderborg. Pretty much anything that was Jap exclusive is L@@K RARE OBSCURE for this board.

Google has this new feature that lets you search for images. Also, we now light our homes using electricity and commute through the sky in flying machines.

came into my shop a few months ago. The analog "stick" is digital and feels horrendous. Has weird sort of gyro controls that do not work very well, may have been a defective unit but I could see it being just a bad product. It was the N64 version.
