Game Description
Step into the futuristic year of 2005 with Super Glove Ball, a pioneering 3D action-puzzle game developed by Rare Ltd. for the NES. Designed to showcase the capabilities of Mattel's Power Glove, this title immerses players in a dimensional maze where they control a virtual glove to ricochet energy balls, breaking through walls and navigating complex rooms. With its first-person perspective and innovative control scheme, Super Glove Ball offers a unique blend of arcade action and strategic exploration.
Gameplay Features

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
