Anybody know anything about it? Should I avoid bidding on it?

Wow. That's actually interesting - never seen one of those before.

Ooo, I just picked up one of those the other day. They are REALLY uncomfortable. I have yet to hook it up and play with it (it'll be going up on vidgame.net before I leave for NYC) but since there is no d-pad or analog stick on it, I think the motions are controlled with the wrist, and it makes it really uncomfortable to make left and right movements in the game. And the O, X, etc. buttons are a little bit to close to where the knuckles are supposed to come out. Even for someone with small hands.

But for the left-handed RPGers, it should be good because it frees up the left writing hand to make maps and such.

Well I'm left handed, but I avoid RPGs and I have large hands (I like the standard Xbox controller better than controller S). Looks like I'll be passing on this one. But I'm curious--who makes the thing?

That's the "Glove" by a company called "Reality Quest" out of Longmont Colorado........long gone BTW. Was licensed and came out late 97 for a short run. It was selectable as a digital/NegCon control.

I got pretty good at Tekken with it.....some driving games were OK.......but my stronge advice is to avoid it.

Hi Adam, thanks buddy.......but I have been lurking here for a very long time :) I even know where the server resides. Hopefully I can stay away from PS2 flames and peoples bitching, that's why I have kept quite.

Take care,
