I never did but I remember the ads made it look like it had a huge coolness factor. Plus that movie "The Wizard" had the Johnny-Cool-Guy kid using one.
 
I never had one, but my friend got one. I only used it once (he wouldn't let anyone else use it), but it wasn't that great from what I remember.

Thats what I've heard too. They seemed kind of rare, wonder if it was buggy and Nintendo pulled it? They still cornered the market on cool though, at least back in the mid eighties.
 
I never had one and I don't recall ever using one. Heh, the closest I had to a cool controller was the NES Advantage (I think we had a Max, too).

Haha, I had an Advantage too! I remember the really sharp freaking corners on that thing would drive into your lap or hand eventually and it was so big and heavy! Or at least it seemed so when I was a kid!

Ha yeah the corners were a pain. I thought it made many games harder to play, actually. I was so used to the gamepad by that point that an arcade style joystick was a step backwards (though I used to be an arcade-phile before my NES days).
 
I used to put a black hockey glove on my hand and pretend to choke things like I was Darth Vader.

Not really the same thing, but it's surely in the same vein.

Nice! I can see it now, the new Wii Star Wars game will come packaged with Sith Glove accessory!

"Hey guys, Sony is trying to screw us over. So even though they have all this video game technology, lets surprise them and set up something with Phillips. That way Sony will be sooooo screwed. They wasted all that money helping us. Hahahahahahahaha....."

"What were you guys thinking?"

But hey, THREE ZELDA GAMES CAME OUT OF THAT DEAL!!!.... Oh, never mind.


:(

I wonder how CD-I owners felt when they bought any of those games, went back home really happy that they had the latest Zelda game, and then saw the abomination come to life.

Yeah they got heard and had to deal with "I'm so hungry I could eat an Octorok!" Maybe thats why they no longer allow Link to talk in games.
