Virtual Boy on Google cardboard

If you don’t know what Virtual Boy is, then this was way before or after your time. For those that don’t know, it was Nintendo’s failed attempt at making the Gameboy into a VR world. If you were lucky (or unlucky) enough to own one, then you know how bad it was. I never got one but I did spend some time playing it, and all it did was give me a massive headache.

If you weren’t able to test out these machines but still want to, then there is good news. Someone figured out a way to get the Virtual Boy experience for your Google cardboard/Gear VR. The difficulty for getting this is not too hard but not too easy either. You gotta work for it a bit, and once you’re done, you can experience it firsthand.

If you don’t want to put in work just to find out it’s not right for you, check out the video below to see if you can stomach the virtual boy. If you feel like you have to have the Virtual Boy experience, then click here for more info and steps on how to install it.
