NINTENDO'S
VIRTUAL BOY (1994-1995)
A good idea.... at least
"Poor
Nintendo, they can't all be winners". For most of you guys
out there who don't know what a Virtual Boy is (who could blame you) here
what it was. A portable but bulky virtual headset that displays
3D images using a new RISC 32-bit engine, but only uses the colour red
which could lead to sore eyes after a hour of playing (The machine even
has build in break periods every 45 minutes to rest your eyes for a few
minutes and various other warnings too). |
GOOD POINTS:
* It's one of a kind! There's nothing like in the video game world, well maybe
the R-Zone unit was kinda like it?
* Some games are really good, even in red.
BAD POINTS:
* It's looks like a ViewMaster2000 or something.
* The blood from your eyes if you play it too long without a break.
* Here are the phototypes you'll probaly never play:
Zero Racers
Goldeneye
Dragon Hopper
