The only distinct memory I have of Sears is when I got to try out the Nintendo Virtual Boy in their electronics section back in ~95. I was very excited because I thought Nintendo could do no wrong at that point. Needless to say, I was disabused of that notion very quickly.

I don't know. I got to play with a virtual boy once and honestly for the time it wasn't bad it just wasn't good.

Nobody wanted to stare at Red lasers play a video game, but the technology itself had potential.
