A Tribute To LUCAS & The Nintendo Powerglove





Oh , how long has it been? 10? 15 years? Who cares , really.

When we first met Lucas (The Wizard) on the big screen back in 1989, we all hated him. He was smug , pretentious , and his hair was too perfect. No matter how hard we tried to get our hair to look like his, it never worked. Even our mom paid a hairdresser to style our hair as close as possible to Lucas' , but our hair just wasnt curly enough.



Remember how that collectively happened to all of us at the same time? Remember waking up in the morning with my face to a tear-stained pillow after a night of crying over the fictional realities that Lucas would never come over and teach me the intricate co-ordinate secrets that were locked in the supremely programmed complex vault within the game Rad Racer ?



Well, in a long overdue tribute to the now dead Lucas Barton, I put together a mini-collage of Lucas-inspired music I composed of late. Enjoy.

    i always found it fascinating when people converted things like the powerglove or a joystick into a simple midi sound controller.

    anyone remember that plastic mat / pad that you stand on and you can run and jump in certain games that were adaptable?
