6 Worst Video Game Accessories Ever

6 Worst Video Game Accessories Ever
One of the greatest things about the video game industry(or pretty much most industries) is its willingness to make absolutely crap-tastic products and sell them to you. But there are some products so amazingly terrible that not even the most careless of consumers would purchase them. These are the devices that made it to Cracked's list of the "6 Most Ill-Conceived Video Game Accessories Ever."

The list is graced by the old (Sega Activator, the demo video reminds us of another lame peripheral), the new (Wii Car Adapter), and the never sold (Atari Mindlink). Of course, no list of awful video game peripherals would be complete without the inclusion of the perennial favorite -- the Power Glove. Clearly, Nintendo and Mattel were high on something when they created that monstrosity, a device that took decades to set up and was about as useful a control for Mario as shouting at the TV.
