Warioland was a solid game, sad it hasn't gotten a re-vamp yet.

I had the Virtual Boy system when I was a kid and I feel like I'm the only person who actually enjoyed it lol I don't recall ever getting any headaches but then I wasn't on there all day or anything
I really thought it was cool but was way too expensive for what it was.
A friend of mine whose parents were divorced had it. He let me play it a ton and I didn’t get any dizziness or eye damage.
Teleroboxer is one of the best games that no one played
I had that one and it was awesome!
Similarly, I'm the only person I know who enjoys the 3DS for the 3D screen
I enjoyed it, although I’m not sure it really added much. I mainly played Mario Kart 7.
I really did but the framerate in almost every game that used it dropping by half killed me.
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.
Fun fact: If you have a 3DS, you can now experience these games in 3D with the Red Viper emulator!
Also meta quest has a VR app VB emu
I tried it for about 3 minutes. I had something similar to dizziness the next two ours. The immersion was nice tho.
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.
Maybe they would be twice as super though!
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.
Laying down in bed was the way to play. It was great.
I remember trying to play it in the car by pressing it into the seat in front of me with my head. Lol
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.
There was a boxing Kangaroo and I hated him so fucking much.
