Virtual Boy

So i was watchin a AVGN review on the virtual boy and thought wow wouldnt that be trippy. Anyone have or had on of these? What are some good games

I googled that shit and I seen a price tag of 766.Fuck that shit I'll stick with ps3

haha well lets hope the mexicans at the used game store are cheaper

I had one of the old virtual boys back in the day, the red ones. tennis was a trip.

JP

yup mario tennis it was cool

I remember Virtual Boy. I think the only game I played was the Mario tennis. It was like a gameboy with 3 layers of crappy screen all tinted red. Definitely not worth 766 dollars. I can get them in the box at the flee market down the street every weekend. Never looked at the price but cant be that much.

There are some emulators and ROMS on the net.

for now, allthough Its not insurmountable...I have 3D glasses for my PC....

A friend of mine hand one. Damn thing would give you a head ache after playing for a little while.

You need a decent video card for a start.
I think my headset works at 30FPS, so your system need to be able to maintain 60FPS, to provide each eye with its image.

It works by darkening the lenses of the glasses alternaitng from one to the other eye, a bit faster then what you would notice flickering (24fps)
The screen alternates the image with each switch, each eye sees only the image intended for it then.

Sure its not perfect but when dialed in correctly is a MAJOR advantage in many games... not to mention how many winamp visuals are actualy 3D.

Down side is it doesnt work with LCD monitors, (allthough you now get 3D LCD monitors with their own glasses).

i had one of these. as someone said, it causes a major headache after playing due to eye strain. that thing killed my eyes after playing every time.
