Ah Nintendo, when you go wrong, you go wrong in a big way. The Virtual Boy was Nintendo's attempt to introduce a third platform to their line-up. An odd machine. It ran on batteries so was portable in the narrowest sense. The user would place their head on the visor and experience three-dimensional video gaming. The effect DID work rather well and a number of fun games were created, unfortunately all the graphics were done in red vector (Red lines) which was headache inducing and annoying.
At one point I collected almost all the Virtual Boy games including the Japanese titles, but later sold them for money to pay bills. I retain one or two titles in the event I ever feel like turning the system on. Which never happens.
