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.

You're not kidding Kevin. I went to CNN and the audience was nothing but geriatrics.

The Republican Convention is always filled with a bunch of "Good Ole Boys" like a rich man's rodeo. I can't stand it.

There's a really loud southerner on CNN's coverage of the RNC. "Yeeah! Fred Thompson! YEEEEEAH!" Seems to yell "yeah" for every applause break.

Bigdog, appears your 1 year was up on 8/12/2008. It reverts you back to Normal user status when that happens.
