Default Do you guys remember the virtual boy?!


I just randomly came across this and I remember having one!

The stand sucked, it caused massive eye strain and the games sucked but I absolutely loved mine!

It was beyond a failure for Nintendo......

some one should mod this with a couple of small lcd's and hook it up to something, even though you would look like a retard with that thing on your head.

Yes, I know it was.


But when your 8, just owning something with the word "virtual" in the title was uber sweet

Man I used to wear that thing out, until my mom took it saying it would burn my eyeballs out of my head after that whole scare...lol

That red screen is forever burned into my brain...

Oh man, I remember when I was little and played with it a lot in Toys R Us. Some Wario game was the only thing it had on.

But yeah, oh man, when I finally stepped away from it, massive eye strain and I felt dizzy.
