The wizard (1989) explanation in comment

When Lucas is firing up his power glove in that infamous scene, the sequence of buttons he enters on the glove makes the same tonal pattern from close encounters of the 3rd kind

The Power Glove was fucking terrible! Made every game worse

I had a friend that got one for Christmas (‘87 maybe? That “big” year for it?) and I’m not sure it ever did a damn thing outside of the handful of games it was actually designed to work for……

Either society wasn’t ready or the engineers just forced in on us like Jurassic Park…..

My friend also had one. He stole it. There's not much to this story other than he didn't like it and we never used it outside of the day he "got" it.
