I am seriously jealous, and I simply MUST see this with my own eyes one day. It's just too cool. There are too many pictures for me to post them all, so I will give you the link.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that Nintendo was founded in the late 1800's and they specilized in playing cards ect...

[Ninjaa]

Yep. That's entirely correct. Nintendo is a VERY old company. There are actually a couple of pictures of some of Nintendo's Disney playing cards in there. (No Japanese cards though)

very good collection of old systems... I still have my old family computer and nintendo system...

Its also my first time to know about virtual boy... have anyone tried that console???

[Ninjaa]

I played the Virtual Boy once in a pawn shop for about an hour. It really hurt the eyes, and it was hard to see what you were doing. It didn't work well with glasses either, so I was either uncomfortable or blind. ;)

It had a pretty cool game for it though. Red Alarm. It was a Star Fox style game but with vector graphics. The Virtual Boy was killed mainly due to its lackluster graphics and the emergence of the N64 a few months later. I wanted one, but I wanted to wait for the N64 even more.

Phoenix, I know what you mean. After seeing that tour, I think that NOA would be the funnest place in the world to work. ;)

so its not that 3D where you swirl your head and the scene also move... that is way strainous fof the neck also if your playing at long hours too...

[Ninjaa]

Eh? No, it's like a viewmaster that moves. You look in and see things in 3D without need of any kind of physical exertion on your part. VR!

[Quatro]

ok... I though its one with the 3D environment where you have to turn your head left or right... thanks anyway ninja... that console never reached us so I don't know what it do :)
