Lamb" Brief FIrst Impression of the Virtual Boy by Nintendo. Real easy to assemble and just plug and play. The 3-D effect is good, but there are only 2 colors, red and black. There is no head tracking and only like 3 games that you can use on it and they are about $49 each. The unit retails for $159 and you need to come up with another $20 for an AC adaptor unless you are a battery stockholder. The lack of color is unfortunate in my opinion. The objects are rendered as wire frame in the red. Responsivness of the controls to user inputs are good. It's fun to play with, but I'm giving it to my 8 year old for his birthday (most likely the best use for the toy). Just my impressions.
