Default Playing GW with NES PowerGlove

Hey guys, I was just spring cleaning and guess what I found? My Nintendo Power-Glove!! Than it came to me; maybe I can hook it up to my PC and play guild wars. So after 10min or so on the web I found an NES to serial adapter

I'm still waiting for the converter, but I wanted to get your input on this idea. I'm also looking for ideas on movements that you would like to see.
For instance the software can activate commands based on sensitivity of the finger movements. So you could just twitch your thumb to change targets and auto-attack. Also the software works just like it would on the NES. Would you like to "tap" where you want to go?
Again, this is just an idea I had while working. So any criticism would be helpful either good or bad.

Thanx Again -Irish

Wait. They actually exist? LOL!

Just looked at this: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...215-the-wizard

And I laughed ridiculously hard at the power glove. And it exists.

Nintendo's Wiimote does now what the Power Glove was trying to do way back in the '80s. And with a bit of work, you can use a wiimote on PC. I wouldn't recommend either one to play GW. As Snograt said, I'm sure you could get your Ursan on if you tried, however. I'm positive that you can play GW with a gamepad using third party software to emulate keyboard/mouse, as I have done exactly that with a Sony Dualshock2 since May '05.

If you really want to, the power glove has enough buttons to control GW if you program a combination button(functions like SHIFT on a keyboard).

Using the power glove will still make you look like a [insert derogatory term here]. I chuckle every time I see a picture of someone wearing it.
