What Was It?
Virtual Boy offered stereoscopic game imagery through a tabletop viewer with a striking red-and-black display. It made looking into the hardware part of the experience rather than watching a shared television.
Its very short market life left a device remembered as much for its unusual physical approach as for its small game library.
