Ack! It's *Nintendo's* Virtual Boy system. :) The Virtual Boy is a game system like the Super Nintendo, but it has its own display. The display is a tabletop unit with stereo optics designed by Reflection Technologies (the "Private Eye" people.) Each screen is 1.7/1 horiz/vert pixel ratio, and they are two bits deep in shades of red. Sorry I can't really give a critical review, as I started working for Nintendo about three weeks ago. :) ---Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark A.
