Re: Virtual Boy
 

  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.

I remember renting this from Blockbuster when it was first released.  It only took me about 10 years or so to finally track one down in a Salvation Army for $20 or so.  Possibly the only game system that regularly reminds you to take breaks (maybe the Wii does now....I dunno).  Red Alarm is still fun though.

At least the new Metallica album sounds like the old days. It shows the band is getting over Load.

Dammit, I was gonna make a joke about overloading in my pants. Too late.

bigdog21 At:11:10 PM

I was kidding; I don't even know what overloaded means. I just overloaded my pantaloons though, I think.
