Glover is a video game released for the Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows in 1998, and for the PlayStation in 1999. It features a magical, four-fingered glove named Glover.

Update 5/31/2013: I have had some success using nGlide from http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide to run Glover on Windows 7 64-Bit. The system is a laptop with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset. The video was choppy but playable. I will test it on my XP rig wich has an AMD Radeon 6670 video card. Thanks to TheCrazybunny56 for the link.

Update 5-27-2012: As for playing Glover on PC, I think you're better off playing it via a N64 emulator or PSX emulator. If you still want to play it on PC, you can try a combination of Glide emulation and a virtual machine.

Plot
In a peaceful, idyllic kingdom, a kindly wizard rules over various lands from his large castle. The beauty and harmony of the kingdom are protected by seven magical crystals, which sit on the spires of the castle. The wizard is aided in his magic by a pair of magic gloves, which are sentient. One day, though, the wizard accidentally mixes together a bad batch of potions, which create a massive explosion. The mishap turns the wizard into a statue, and sends his magic gloves in two directions—one flies out the window, while the other lands in a cauldron. The explosion also shakes the crystals from the spires, and they hurtle to the ground. The glove that landed outside—Glover—quickly casts a spell to transform the crystals into rubber balls to prevent them from shattering to the ground. They bounce away, entering the magical realms around the kingdom. Without the crystals, though, the world transforms into a foggy, desolate wasteland. To make matters worse, the other glove is corrupted by the potion in the cauldron and becomes the villain, Cross-Stitch.
Glover realizes that he must find the seven crystals and restore them to the fountain underneath the castle. He traverses from realm to realm, and must protect the rubber balls at all costs. As he does, Cross-Stitch attempts to thwart him by setting traps and creating monsters, but Glover's magical skill defeats the beasts. As the crystals are returned, the world is gradually restored to its former state. In the end, Glover fights Cross-Stitch in an outer space-themed realm, and recovers the last crystal. The wizard is brought back to life, and uses his magic to purify Cross-Stitch. All ends happily, and the world is once again at peace.
