The PowerGlove

[satoshi_matrix]

Resenting the fact that I never owned one as a child, I recently bought a NES PowerGlove with its speaker looking connectors for $8. Now I know its a really old peice of technology now but what a fabuous idea. Being able to control games with your hand! If it only worked a tad bit bitter... it makes me wish Nintendo had've re-invented it and made a PowerGlove for the Wii.

Does anyone know the code combos needed to play it? I can only get it to work in its defult mode which only works well for sidescrollers. I'm left handed. Was there a left handed version for us lefties? Anyone have any powerglove memories/experiences they want to share?

and before anyone else says it, I'll say it:
I love the Powerglove. Its so bad.

[KaiserWAVE]

I googled a bit found this. It's a FAQ for the Power Glove, Mattel's Power Glove Instructions for NES to be exact. I had a quick look at it and it seems to answer all your questions including the combos, or different programs as they are called here. I'd rather copy the FAQ in here instead of giving the link as some sort of backup.

So here's a copy of the Power Glove's Instructions for NES originally typed in by Lee K. Seitz (lkseitz@hiwaay.net). [ http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/ ]

INTRODUCTION
------------

   Hi!  I'm the Glove Master and this is my apprentice Little
Digit.  We're going to take you to a new dimension in game play; a
dimension that puts amazing powers right in your  hand.  With the
flick of a finger you can devastate an army of attackers or deliver a
deadly blow to your enemy.
   Welcome to the world of the Power Glove!  It's a world where
you'll really feel like you are part of the action.  When you play a
boxing game you really punch.  With driving games you'll get the feel
of being behind the wheel of a real race car.
   Little Digit and I are here to help you start playing a game
with your Power Glove as soon as possible.  As Little Digit can tell
you, becoming a Glove Master takes practice.  But in no time at all,
you'll be scoring high and winning big the Power Glove Way.

[Typist's note:  Glove Master and Little Digit are cartoon characters
who appear throughout the manual.  When they have word balloons, I
will use "GM:" to show Glove Master speaking and "LD:" to show Little
Digit speaking.]

LD:  Everything's plugged in...I think???
GM:  Let's see, junction box cord to 1 and glove cord to junction box.
-- That's right!  Good  job L.D.


GETTING TO KNOW YOUR POWER GLOVE
--------------------------------

Figure 3:  [The Power Glove with the following controls labeled:]
   A - Direction pad          G - Rapid fire for A
   B - Center                 H - Rapid fire for B
   C - Start & Select         I - Program (Prog)
   D - A & B commands         J - Enter (Entr)
   E - The number pad (0-9)   K - LED light
   F - Slow motion

A.  Works just like the direction pad on your NES controller.
B.  Each time you press CENTER you set a new starting point.
C.  Once glove is on, press START or SELECT to turn on the LED panel.
During a game use them as you would the Nintendo Start & Select
buttons.
D.  You can use these buttons as you would Nintendo A & B buttons.
E.  Use keys 0-9 to enter program code after you press PROG (see J).
F.  For games that use slo-mo, press once to turn it on.  Press again
to turn it off.
G.  Rapid Fire for A turns on automatically when you turn on the
glove.  Press:
   7 to turn it off       1 to increase firing rate
   2 to turn it back on   6 to decrease firing rate
H.  Rapid Fire for B turns on automatically when you turn on the
glove.  Press:
   9 to turn it off       3 to increase firing rate
   4 to turn it back on   8 to decrease firing rate
I.  Puts glove into a program mode so you can use the number pad to
load a program, (see E).  Don't press this button when you're playing
a game.
J.  Press ENTER twice to exit program mode and turn game controls back
on after you load a program, (see I).  During a game press ENTER once
to switch A to B and B to A.  Press again to switch them back.

LD:  What are all these buttons for?
GM:  They do lots of things.  Take a look at Figure 3.
LD:  Wow!  It's like having a NES controller right on my arm.


QUICK START-UP
--------------

GM:  Put a game in the NES and press Power.  The glove beeps.
Pressing Power turns the glove on and off.
GM:  Press Start on the glove.  Pressing Start or Select turns on the
LED panel.
GM:  Make a fist a few times so the glove gets to know the size of
your fingers and thumb.

* Remember to bend your thumb when you make a fist.

GM:  Point glove at the middle of the TV screen and press Center, so
the glove can tell which way you move.

* Pressing Center sets your starting point.

Look at the LED Panel by Sensor 2.  The lights turn on and off when
you move the glove in different directions.  Try it.

                         |---\
                         |    \
        Lift glove ----> |  *  |
   Move glove left -->   | o o | <---- Move glove right
       Lower glove ----> |  o  |
                         |     |
                         | * * |
                         |_____|

                           ^ ^
                           | |
                   --------+-+
                  /
   * If these lights are flashing it means turbo is on.  Push 7 & 9 to
   stop flashing.

GM:  To turn on the glove and start playing a game just follow the
steps in "Quick Start Up."
LD:  Can I play now?

Moving your glove is the same as pressing buttons on a NES controller.
To play a game right now use these moves:

                Up = UP on NES direction pad
              Down = DOWN on NES direction pad
             Right = RIGHT on NES direction pad
              Left = LEFT on NES direction pad
   Bend 1st finger = A button on NES
        Bend thumb = B button on NES


THE SENSING ZONE
----------------

LD [sitting on floor]:  Hey!  My glove isn't working.
GM:  That's because it's not in the sensing zone.

1.  It is very important that you stay in the sensing zone when you're
playing a game.
2.  Always point your glove towards the TV when you are playing a
game.
3.  Sitting on a chair instead of the floor will help you stay in the
sensing zone.

LD [sitting in chair]:  Thanks GM!  My glove works great when I stay
in the sensing zone.


CENTERING:  THE KEY TO POWER GLOVE MASTERY
------------------------------------------

*Centering* is your center position or "starting" point.

*Setting Your Center*
1.  Put your hand and arm in a comfortable position.
2.  Point your glove at the middle of the TV screen.
3.  Press the CENTER button on your glove.  The position your glove is
in when you press CENTER is your center position.
4.  Repeat steps 1-3 to re-center as many times as you want.

LD:  What's wrong?  My man won't move the way I want.
GM:  Try re-centering.

The lights will tell you which way you move from the center.

LD:  Hey!  All the lights are off.
GM:  That's because your glove is centered.  If you move a light comes
on.

*Centering Your Moves*
Finding your center position is easy with the LED Panel.  When the
glove is perfectly centered all the directional LED's will be off and
your man won't move.

Moving the glove away from center is like pressing the NES direction
pad.  Your man moves according to which way you move the glove away
from the center.  Look at which LED lights to see which way you move
the glove.

*Glove Master's Centering Hints*

* It's easy to lose track of where you centered.  Re-center whenever
you are having problems moving your man.

* You can re-center as many times as you like during a game.  It won't
interfere with the action and will probably improve your accuracy.

GM:  Try to keep your moves close to center and you'll change
directions faster.
LD:  Ok, I'll try.
GM:  Wow!  LD I think you're gonna break the high score this time!
LD:  Making smaller moves really helps.

* The smaller and tighter your moves are around your center position,
the faster your man changes directions.


SLOW-MOTION CONTROLS
--------------------

LD:  HELP!  I turned on slow mo and it went crazy.
GM:  Slow motion doesn't work with every game.
GM:  Press (5) again to get back to normal.

1.  Press button 5 on the number pad to turn on slow motion.
2.  Press button 5 again to turn off slow-motion.

*Glove Master's Slo-Mo Hints*

* Slow Motion is great when you are just learning a new game.  It
gives you more time to react and extra time to plan  your strategy.

* Slow Motion does not work with some games.


RAPID-FIRE CONTROLS
-------------------

LD:  I can get a whole bunch of bad guys when I use rapid fire.
GM:  You can even adjust the speed to meet the challenge.  Go for it!

*Glove Master's Rapid Fire Hints*

* *Rapid Fire for both A and B turns on automatically when you turn on
on the glove.*  In most cases you want to turn one or the other off
before getting into a game.

* Not all glove programs have rapid fire, refer to the individual
descriptions pgs. 17-28, and 30-32.

1.  When you are playing a game you can control rapid fire for A and B
separately by pressing one of these buttons on the number pad.

   (1) Increases firing rate for A   (3) Increases firing rate for B
   (6) Decreases firing rate for A   ( Decreases firing rate for B
   (2) Turns on rapid fire for A     (4) Turns on rapid fire for B
   (7) Turns off rapid fire for A    (9) Turns off rapid fire for B

2.  When rapid fire is on the A/B LED's will flash.
3.  Press buttons 1, 6, 3, or 8, as may times as you want to adjust
the firing rates.  The glove beeps higher or lower to tell you
whether you're firing faster or slower.

[KaiserWAVE]

POWER GLOVE PROGRAMS
--------------------

LD:  How do I know which program to use?
GM:  Look it up in the program index.

*What's A Power Glove Program?*

     A program is a special set of motions, (like lifting or lowering
your hand, or bending your finger,) that you make with your glove to
play a game.  Making these motions is like pressing buttons on an NES
controller.
     The moves you make to play a game depend on which program you
use.  So far you have only used the moves for Program 1.  If you look
through the following pages you'll see there are many different
programs you can use.
     Each program has a different set of moves designed to add
excitement to playing different games.  For example, if you play a
boxing game with Program 7, you make a fist and really punch to make
your man punch.

LD:  My game isn't on the list.
GM:  The descriptions at the top of each program will help you pick
the one that's best.

LD:  I want to use Program 3.
GM:  Let's give it a try.  Just follow "How To Load A Program."

*How To Load A Program*

1.  Put the game into NES and press POWER.  (Glove turns on and
beeps.)
2.  Press PROG on glove.
3.  Press the number of the program you want to use on the number pad
on the glove.
4.  Press ENTR.  (The glove makes a dim beep.)
5.  Press ENTR again.  (The glove beeps.)
6.  Press START or SELECT on your glove.  (LED Panel turns on.)
7.  Make a fist a few times and center before you start playing.
8.  Repeat steps 2-5 to change programs.  Always make a fist a few
times and re-center after you change programs.

PROGRAM 1
This program is loaded automatically when you turn on the glove.  It

POWER GLOVE GAMING SERIES
-------------------------

LD:  Wow!  The program loads automatically!
GM:  There's lots of other rad features in special series games!
LD:  Like what?
GM:  Like the special series programs stored in the games.

*What's Special About Power Glove Gaming Series Games?*

     Special series games have special features that no other games
have.  When  you use the Power Glove to play a special series game
you'll really feel like you are part of the action.

*Special Series Games Start-Up*

1.  Put special series game into NES and press POWER.
2.  Press START or SELECT on your glove.
3.  Make a few fists and center as usual.
4.  The glove beeps as the program to play your game automatically
loads.
5.  Start playing the game.

NOTE:  when you play some special series games all the LED lights
will turn on and flash very fast.  This is normal.  You can still play
the game if this happens.

*Power Glove Gaming Series Programs*

    Additional programs are stored inside some special series games,
like BAD STREET BRAWLER.  You'll find the descriptions and moves for
these programs on the following pages.
    Loading a Power Glove gaming series program is different  from
loading other programs.  The steps below will tell you how it's done.

*Loading Programs*

1.  Put a special series game into the NES and press POWER.
2.  Select special program option as prompted.
3.  Select special series program as prompted.
4.  Turn off NES.  You have 30 seconds to complete step 5.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
----------------------

P:  When I move my hand and fingers nothing happens.
S:  Make sure the T.V. sensors are facing forward and the Junction box
is plugged into Port 1 of the NES.  Make sure your glove is plugged
into the junction box and that the NES is turned on.  Press START or
SELECT on your glove.  Press CENTER.  You can test your glove by
pressing the A and B buttons on your glove while watching the LEDs on
the T.V.

P:  I have trouble moving my man up and down, left and right.
S:  Remember to press CENTER and to watch the LEDs.  You have to learn
to use the glove, it might take a little practice.  You might want to
try glove Program 2, which emits a "beeping" sound when you are not in
the center.

P:  My A and B button LEDs keep lighting even when I don't want them
to.
S:  It is important to calibrate your glove by making a tight fist
(including your thumb) a few times.  This lets your glove know how big
your hand is.  Because the glove senses your finger's position, you
have to keep your hand OPEN until you want to trigger one of your
fingers.

P:  When I move my hand far to the right or left, my man doesn't follow
me.  Sometimes I seem to lose control.
S:  For regular games, your glove does not change how the game is
played.  Your glove ONLY works when it is IN the sensing zone and
POINTING at the TV screen.  Check to see which way the sensors on the
front of your glove are pointing.

P:  I hit PROG by mistake.  How do I get started again?
S:  Enter the Program number again and press ENTR twice in a row.

P:  Some of my games have menus and selection screen which are hard to
work with the glove.
S:  CENTER your glove and don't move your fingers.  Now you can use
the NES buttons on your glove to control the game.  You can always use
these buttons when you need them during the game.  You can also call
up Program 14 which turns off your glove except for the buttons.

P:  I would like to use different motions with the game I am playing.
S:  The glove comes with 14 different programs, each with different
moves.  You can use the suggestions in the index or you can try
different Programs out yourself.  You can use the ENTR key to switch
what controls your A and B buttons and adjust the rapid fire controls.
Special games like Bad Street Brawler have more programs on them.
There will also be special "editing" codes published in magazines for
more games.

Sorry for the fivefold post. The FAQ was just too long to post it in just one or two posts
For everyone who wants to print it out, here's the direct link to the FAQ. I figured for those who want to print it it's the better solution.
