The Wizard



I can still remember seeing this advert for the first time, the Powerglove looked so futuristic, the idea was so ambitious for back then, awesome stuff.



I remember watching The Wizard (1989) as a child, the story is about a young kids running away to win a video game championship. In this scene the kids rock up to Lucas house, two children bring him his Powerglove in a steel briefcase, they help strap it on and discreetly plug it in. He then uses it to complete a race 'Rad Racer' coming first, was pretty cool as a child.
