      Similarly, I’m the only person I know who enjoys the 3DS for the 3D screen

        I too am a 3D screen enjoyer on the 3DS. But I don’t really play fast-moving games where the 3D would create vision issues.

    I played the VB a ton when I was a kid. I guess I was just a dumb kid but it always felt fine to me, I never felt any eye strain or anything. Maybe I just have super eyes.

      A ton? Did you have all like 10 games available for that system?

        I actually did have about 10 games, they went on sale for like $3 each when it was determined that the system was a failure.

  • The best way to play this thing is to get a headband or something so you can strap it to your face like a real VR helmet, then just lay back in bed and jam.

    I absolutely loved this thing for the actual game experience. The design for how you were supposed to use it, though, was absolute shit. Not even the children it was made for sit that low to a table for it to really be comfortable. You would almost always have to hunch over awkwardly and you’d definitely want a pillow or something for your chin… Just awful.

      Lol, it weighs a couple of pounds. I remember trying to strap it to my head somehow, but it was just too heavy to stay up. You would need some kind of shoulder harness or something. Then if you were to lay on your back with it, the thin foam around the goggles just gives away and you got a block of heavy plastic pressing into your face.

      I remember trying to play it in the car by pressing it into the seat in front of me with my head. Lol
