I remember seeing the Virtuality kits on TV in the 90s. Cyberzone with Craig Charles.

Clearly absolutely unplayable nonsense, and yet I still wanted to play on one.
It took so long for hardware to catch up.

Yegods. My first foray into VR was at a high end arcade at North Pier in Chicago. I think the game was Dactyl. The headset was super heavy and none of the goals of the game were explained to me. I basically wandered around for five minutes, shooting green polygons in the sky, then time was up.
Dad was pissed that he’d blown $20 on it.

I think that’s the same game I queued up for like 90 mins at a computer fair to have a few minutes of very confused playtime and that was it.
