I still have this and play it! The cheap stand broke so I have to lay on the floor and look into the viewer. I think I have eye damage from it cause when I was a kid I would skip over the 'mandatory game pauses' that legally had to be in every game to prevent law suits. Red-Alert, Mario Tennis and Nester's Funky Bowling are still fun to play though!

I bought one of those. Red Alert was pretty damn good actually.

I figure Red Alert would just look like a white screen . . . If you figure in the whole 3D glasses effect and all.

I tell you, that highly sophisticated Virtual Boy screen puts those Dell UltraSharp monitors to SHAME.

Virtual Boy had Teleroboxer, which is my favorite boxing game to this day. Its just a shame you could get permanent eye damage from playing it.

They had LCD back then?!

LCD is actually old technology. It's just that LCD screens are cheaper in 2007, then LCD screens in 1996 because the technology was relatively new, and it was hard to afford, and hard to make it into gigantic screens. Which scares me that HDTV was invented in 1992 and the FCC ordered in 98 that in 2006 that all channels would be in high definition, even though that 1 in 35 people today who own a TV have an HDTV.

er, Revise your title. That isn't "Why" it's so advanced, that's a result of it being so advanced.

...which is why they made 10 games and then discontinued the crappy system. i also heard a rumor it was causing severe migranes and seizures.

The sheer epicness of Virtual Boy software will burn out the eyes of those under the age of 8, like ytmnd.
