I don't hate it. It's far from the best console out there, but it's fun. I put a couple of books under it on the dining room table and that fit pretty well. Now, I only played in 10 min runs; but it being uncomfortable was never an issue. Mario Clash is a lot of fun. |

I don't like it myself, the 3D effect gives me a headache (as does the 3DS' 3D, and all other 3D) and the red-on-black is too stark anyway - there's a reason why that kind of display is reserved for Terminators XD |

I was around when it came out, I clearly remember hating it with all my soul. The thing left red after-images in your eyesight for a while, which was pretty annoying. And it would give you headaches from trying to concentrate so hard on the "3D" (I use the term loosely here) field. Any console that leaves after-images and give you headaches is an absolute failure. And having under 20 games in your entire library, really doesn't help either. |

I'm not shitting you when I say I saw crosshairs when I closed my eyes in bed some nights. |

I'd close my eyes and see the score and such. Good game. Good system. I loved the virtual boy. Still do. I picked up my old one when stores were clearing them out for $30 dollars after a few months. The virtual boy and the 32X are both so misunderstood. As I finish filling out my Sega and Xbox collection, I will probably pick up random systems and collect games for them. Just one system at a time until I complete what I want for its library. The virtual boy is high on that list. --- Quote from: soera on November 20, 2013, 01:13:40 pm ---That is definitely the issue with that thing for me is the comfortability. I have heard of a strap that allows you to wear it but I havent seen one. Nice score anyhow. Btw, have you seen this? http://www.retrocollect.com/News/street-fighter-ii-hyper-fighting-unofficially-hits-the-virtual-boy.html --- End quote --- You mean this (As far as I know only homemade or retro scene straps exist. And they don't work well. Use a table): |
