Nintendo’s Virtual Boy was advertised as the first virtual reality gaming headset, but it actually worked more like a 3D screen viewed from above. Players had to lean their head down to look through the device, which sat on a stand, and all games were displayed in a strange, unsettling red color. Sadly, the Virtual Boy wasn’t a success, selling less than 800,000 units and becoming known as one of Nintendo’s biggest flops. Despite this, it did have some fun games like Mario’s Tennis and Wario Land. Now that Nintendo is bringing back classic consoles through its Nintendo Switch Online service, it’s likely the Virtual Boy will be next.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know there are a couple of cool free games on Steam right now! I noticed Cursedland is free until February 1st, and Kiki is free until January 31st.
