Virtual boy was trying to do things we just didn’t have the tech for yet. I had that thing it weighed about 20 pounds. They said you could lie down and use it instead of playing it on top of a desk but that never really worked.

Amazing use of the available technology though. I believe the biggest downside was that it caused dizzyness.

I played Mario tennis for like 45 mins once, and when I took my face out of it I looked at a can of Pepsi and it looked bright red instead of blue. The virtual boy was no joke

The same thing happens if you stare at the color red for long enough and then look at a white wall.
