I just had to post this.

From imdb
Corey and Jimmy Woods are two brothers who are being separated due to their parents divorcing. Jimmy is a mentally unstable kid that has had problems ever since his sister died at a young age. One day, Corey discovers that Jimmy has a natural talent for playing video games. He is one of the best around, and the two journey to the West Coast to compete in a video game championship, but along the way, they must avoid the adults, who are trying to take Jimmy away.

Hahahahaha. I've always heard of this movie, but I'm too afraid of it's sheer awesomeness to really watch it.

Hahaha XD The power glove is so bad, I'm gonna have to get one or twenty or so off of eBay now.
Man, you gotta love how corny 80's movies are.

Dude, that movie was the shizzle back in the day...

And to top things off, I bought the Legend of Zelda 80's TV show recently...

Not to mention the terrible inconsistency with the actual control. He turns the glove left, and the car goes right, turns it left again and this time it DOES go left. Not to mention the fact that he was doing well by smacking straight into the back of the other car, slowing to half his speed, and unable to overtake him.

I do remember the film though. Back in the day 'twas the nuts, same as Wargames and Short Circuit (which I just got on DVD for nostalgia value).
