  1. I'm playing "Golf" on the Virtual Boy.  It's fun!  A very effective use of 3D.

      I have a background in AR/VR and we studied this game in particular in 2005. I think it was one of the strongest titles for Virtual Boy and I agree TOTALLY that it was a very effective use of 3D. Sometimes going back to simple ideas give the best results in new worlds of AR and VR.

      I loved the Virtual Boy!  Mario Tennis and Galactic Pinball were my faves.

      I think the Virtual Boy and Vectrex are my favorite things in my collection.  Probably because they are so unique and it's not easy to emulate them well.

      The very first VB game I ever played was "Nestor's Funky Bowling" at a retro gaming exhibit probably 15+ years ago.  It was at a science museum.  I was so impressed with the 3D effect and the sharpness of the graphics (even though they are only red/black).  I bought a system right away after that and have loved it ever since.  

      I have always believed that if Nintendo had named it "3D Boy" instead of "Virtual Boy", they may have found more success.
