If you want to experience what it felt like to play with a virtual boy. There is a fantastic video game museum in Málaga, Spain that has a working Virtual Boy. You can't strap it to your head and move around as the headset is securely attached to a stand. But you can put your eyes up to the headset and experience early 90's VR.

The Museum is called "OXO - Museo del Videojuego Málaga". We accidentally stumbled across it while over in Spain on holiday from New Zealand last January (2024).

Lochyboy / Alexander / Teenguy, thank you for giving us the History of Nintendo. I learned much.
It will probably not surprise you at all to learn that I have never owned a gaming console, well not a proper one... I have Walkman style cassette player from ALBA that has a version of TETRIS on it, named The Wall.
Arianna did own an Atari 2600 back in the day, and says it still exists at her Mum's house.
My nephew Nathan enjoys his DS.
Arianna did own a Switch, but gave it to my niece Star in 2022 just before we met with you in Inverness.
Keep on enjoying your gaming mate!
