After a hearty discussion Awsmgy and I will present next week our top 5 (or 10) worst video game systems ever. Or our most favorite to hate / laugh at / tease like it's a fat kid. Woohoo. So uhh... it'll be fun. Oh yea, and the Virtual Boy definitely makes the cut.

More on that I remember playing Red Alarm at a Best Buy or something similar. I only remember trying to bank the plane to the right which ended up being a slow swoop of vector fueled frustration that caused my fingernails to crack and I retched violently on the store display speaking in tongues... true story.

So for all those Nintendophiles that believe Nintendo can do no wrong... how come you didn't love the Virtual Boy enough?

Nintendo Virtual Boy- "the forgotten bastard child scurrying around in Nintendo's attic"
Nintendo Virtual Boy- "come on... we tried...kinda"
Nintendo Virtual Boy- "red lines of solid gold"

The Virtual Boy was a pretty good "searing eye pain" simulator. I'll give it that.

If only there were a larger market for "searing eye pain simulators" these days.
