Reply to comment by saltineofmydream in Two unreleased and 'never digitized' NES games are up for auction on eBay by thebelsnickle1991

The power glove one, according to a comment on a YouTube video claiming to be from the wife of the man who was the developer of the cart, is basically just a tech demo and is not a playable game in any real sense.

Still, both would be neat collectables, I wouldn't pay that much for them, though...

Nothing is playable with the power glove

Had one. The most used component was the embedded gamepad because when my parents would take away the controllers to enforce no NES punishments, they would never take away the PowerGlove collecting dust in the drawer.

I had one too. It was a piece of shit. Absolutely useless.

Somewhere deep deep in my mind from childhood, I remember this quote…

Not doubting you, since your source is different, but the article specifically says it is playable by the husband:

“The listing goes on to say that the seller's husband was the game designer, adding that it was tested in a retail environment and is playable”

I think playable in a technical sense and "not really a playable game" can both be true statements.
