    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

      Similarly, I’m the only person I know who enjoys the 3DS for the 3D screen

        I really did but the framerate in almost every game that used it dropping by half killed me.

        I enjoyed it, although I’m not sure it really added much. I mainly played Mario Kart 7.

        The 3DS’ 3D was actually great and people who claim to hate it just hate progression!

          It was great, and society has only regressed since we gave up on 3D displays

      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.

    Fun fact: If you have a 3DS, you can now experience these games in 3D with the Red Viper emulator!

    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.

      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.

    Nintendo was doing that as early as 1987:

    Famicom 3D System

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