AVGN: The Virtual Boy

Just saw this:  Nintendo Virtual Boy Celebrates 20th Birthday This Week

That's an interesting read. Can't believe it's been 20 years already.
All that great stuff happening from '93 to '99, some of which stays at the front of my mind, is suddenly so long ago.
I have a Virtual Boy-though I didn't use it very much. I'm one of the people that got sick pretty fast looking at all those blood red games.
Will have to pull it out and upload a pic or two. Can't even remember which or how many games I have for it.

[Saturn]

Hmm, looks like only 5 games.
Didn't take long to get woozy from the red.

[Shadowrunner]

Nice! I want to get one some day.

Just read this great article about the history of the Virtual Boy. Really in depth and tells the entire story from design right up to it being cancelled.

That was a great article. Had no idea what the background was or the severity that Nintendo swept it under the rug and have tried to distance themselves from it.
Great stuff!
