You gotta remember this console. I miss the red and black graphics as I stared into facepiece. The only game I remember having was Mario Tennis but this was a kickass video game.

Discuss.

This thing was awesome.

Tennis ruled. I had pinball too and some other game, maybe boxing. They were good, but nothing compared to tennis.

Battery life was GREAAAAAAAT

I had this thing like it, i forgot who made it.
It looked like on of those eye things from that dragon ball z show.
The games were like a little piece of plastic with pictures in them and the light would highlight different ones and the little glass piece infront of your right eye would reflect it so you could see.
I only had one game, a racing game where you had three lanes and the sound track was nothing but beeping, the speed of the beep depnding on how fast your going. I found it last summer and that thing was still the shit.
That must have been the most anoying thing ever for everyone else.

oh the 90's and its faux-virtual reality phase. I remember as a kid going on some "virtual reality" crap. it was just Doom 2 for PC really close to my face, and i held a button in my hand that made the gun shoot.

"put the screen an inch away from your face and its like YOU'RE REALLY THERE!"

Open you desk and play it, you'd probably get away with it for about 30 seconds before someone noticed that large red binoculor (sp?) looking thing.

Ha, the guy talking about the game.com reminded me of who made the virtual realtiy game thing i was talking about before.

the Tiger R-Zone:
(IMG:http://www.vidgame.net/TIGER/TIGER/rzonehead/rzone_head.jpg)
Now that was the shit.

I think this is the one game i ever had for it (IMG:http://www.miniarcade.com/img/games/tiger/rzone_daytona51.jpg)

Edit: I completely missed your post figureing out what it was. But mine came with that racing game.
