Thought it would be a fun poll to see which of the major peripherals we still use, aside from controllers. I would lump the Power Glove and stuff like it in with controllers.
Does 4-score/Satellite count? I mostly use mine as an extension cord for official controllers and never actually used it as a multitap. I do have an idea for an awesome homebrew game that uses it but I have a lot to learn first and dont know any coders to help.
Pretty much all of them. Why isn't the power glove here? I've beaten a number of games with it along with the roll'n'rocker. I always look for games to beat with them. Recently got a U-force and new glove and I plan on beating punch out with all three peripherals.
Power Glove, et al, are basically controllers. I'm thinking of the peripherals that do unique things and have games that use them exclusively or near exclusively.
ROB a few months ago to see how these replacement claws I got would perform and to dance to Xmas 14.
Just bought a power pad, but will first use it once Mega Mario Man's Tailgate Party is released.
Will probably never try a power glove cause I'm guessing the majority of the insides smell like 30 year old sweat.
Cool, I want to check Mega Mario Man's Tailgate Party. You should give the power glove another chance, it can be really fun once you figure out how to use it properly.
My son and I played Duck Hunt a few weeks ago and he laughed and had a great time playing it. Other than the zapper only the advantage for shooters that do not have rapid fire.

The Power Pad is more of a controller than the Power Glove. Sure, most games only saw it as a controller, but it was capable of more (see Super Glove Ball). Power Glove definitely belongs.
I don't use ROB, mostly because the games aren't fun. I don't use the power pad, because I keep my gaming and running separate. I do still use the Zapper sometimes, but only the original gray model. I like to think of myself as edgy, not using the safety orange model

I bought a ROB this year and tried out a few levels of Gyromite.
I also bought the Miracle Piano set and I think that counts!
I really need to get around to testing out my Power Pad that I picked up a couple of years ago. It's in really nice shape so I'm sure it works!
I'll toss Miracle Piano into the poll, since it does a specific function with its game.
But this is if you use them! Sitting on a shelf in its box because you got a great deal on it five years ago is not using it.
I last used the zapper in December or something.

I sold off my peripherals to make room awhile ago.
Also, CRT masterrace

That said, I do still need a ROB for the collection shelf.
I'm boring. Controller only.
Same here. Though when I'm feeling crazy I pop in Arkanoid and break out the Vaus.
Break out. Get it? Cause Arkanoid is a breakout clone ... I'll shut up now.

No! That was a good joke, be proud of it!
Gyromite is way more fun with a second player trying to "help" you!
