I remember going to a virtuality centre in London (Trocodero centre?) when I was a kid, just to have a go on one.

I then had some Elsa Revelators in the mid 90's which gave us stereoscopic PC gaming, but this all fell by the wayside as LCD's replaced CRT's with poor refresh rates.

My last hope for this at home was the Vuzix VR1440, but I've heard nothing on these for 2 years. I guess we will just have to wait for Nintendo to do it!

Is that Seth Green?

[DrCruel]

@babato12365 No. It's Rick Astley gay brother.

[babato12365]

@DrCruel It's not Seth Green or Rick Astley. Rick Astley has a british accent. I was just sayin they look similar

[DrCruel]

@babato12365 Make your own choice. I'm sticking to "Astley Poof" for the win.

[babato12365]

@DrCruel Lol okay.

No, it's J.D. Roth. He used to also be the host of a game show called Funhouse that had kids running through obstacle courses and whatnot. =)

This makes me want to throw my Wii out the window. DUDES!!!!

Awesome...Yes. Longlived....No. Even its connection to the air force couldn't save this techno-wonder from obsolescence. I wonder if its because they were using Amiga motherboards for the guts?

Thanks for posting.

I remember playing these games in the Trocadero Centre in London, in about 1992! Coin-operated, but always had staff to help/protect the gear. Very heavy goggles I remember. I also remember a WW1 air combat game with the Red Baron!

With all the console development over the last 15 years, why don't we have a lightweight system for home use? I'd spend good money on kit like that! Why?!?! :)

The Red Baron game you're thinking of was called 'Flying Aces'. That was one of mine too :)

Our original name for it was much better tho - 'Silly Fokkers', but we weren't allowed to use it... I wonder why? :)

[Zycyzyx]

EXACTLY! I remember playing one of these as a kid as well... and there was *no* doubt in my mind we'd all have something like it in our homes by now.

Guess not. :(

[tnaseem]

Great! I've been looking for screenshots / video's of the games I developed at Virtuality and I found this! Thanks for sticking this up.

It's great to see them again. brings back memories :)
