In 1994, Nintendo of Japan unveiled Virtual Boy
at Shoshinkai Show. Basicly, it's a 3D virtual
reality system designed by Gumpei Yokoi at affordable
consumer prices, the color is monochrome (red) in order to
reduce the cost of the system. The screen is not
complete immersion with 180 degree around, but simply a
regular screen plus layers of sprites built in fornt of
your eyes, I'd say about 10.<br>The system was
released in Japan July 21, 1995, with initial release of
Todibase Panibon (Panic Bomber), Galatic Pinball, Mario's
Tennis, Teleboxer, and Red Alarm.<br><br>Of the 3 systems
Gumpei Yokoi (Game Boy, Wonder Swan, and Virtual Boy),
Virtual Boy is by far my favorite system, why? It's about
innovation and giving people a chance to experience virtual
reality gaming at low cost. Unfortunately, we live in a
market where consumers reward shameless ripoffs and
copycats, reluctant to support and try out new stuff.
