    I like how the protective plastic over the red mirror seemingly degraded over the years and left some residue behind. The R-Zone was literally disintegrating within its own packaging.

    I feel as if, if anyone cared, you could make the screen a million times more visible by replacing the viewer with an actual piece of mirror instead of a shiny red sticker.
    If anyone cared enough about the R-Zone to mod one.

    For sticky stuff use tape or duck tape, and keep sticking it over where the adhesive your trying to remove. It can take a bit, but usually works out pretty well.

    We need much much more LCD simulations for Retroarch handheld core, all LCD games are still games that deserve preservation. Lots of them are actually fun too. Galaxy Wars 2 is very good and playable.
    Casio had several good ones, played some via a Spectrum simulation earlier and Tiger games need preservation en masse.

    Oddly, when Mark said something about putting in some AAA batteries, my iPad on the other side of the room thought someone had said "Hey Siri for AAA batteries." The search came back for AAA storage facilities or something. Yet my iPhone sitting next to me did not pick up on this. My iPad must be in the R-Zone.

    If they can get the transparency good enough in the non-lit spots, they could have had a permanent blocky pixel grid behind it to supplement the game-in-screen. Of course, cheap was the name of the game, so...

    "Look at this, they placed a protective piece of plastic"

    Necro comment, but I ended up here from a video about the headset, the ads for which had been recently unlocked from my brain, and it had these little background inserts for each game, like the handheld devices. But there was nowhere to put them, and now I can see on this model there is also nowhere to put them. Are... are there *more* versions?

    @dunnono00 7 років тому

    I wonder... how did they get the idea to make these?
    "Gentlemen, clearly the Virtual Boy is the FUTURE of video games. We must find a way for Tiger Entertainment to keep up."
    "I guess? I got an idea! What if we take our existing LCD tech from the 80's, and make it virtual!"
    "And red?"
    "And red!!"
    "You've earned your paycheck for another year, ideas person."
    Boy, they got that one wrong... the main problem being that it's just like a Tiger handheld, but worse on account of the harsh color. But it probably didn't cost them much, since it's just slightly fancier Tiger handheld.

    Was the added negative drama really necessary? The headband version is garbage, but the handheld and tabletop are fine. If you go in with the expectation of a segmented LCD game they're good little short games to mess with, not some big console or handheld level gaming experience. And no it looks a lot sharper and easier to see in person, there isn't that annoying blurry glow.

    Let's be honest, one of the biggest points to the R-Zone is it holds up 2 more buttons than the game boy that's pretty cool.
