    I love retro tech, and I love seeing RUclipsrs rediscover and cover more 90's VR stuff like this, _especially_ since they're becoming more and more rare and will only become more difficult to work with in the future. You're not the only one who thinks losing these things is heart-breaking -- I always wanted to play these as a kid. Saw a bit on a TV show back in the 90's where they played Battlezone at a "Cyber Cafe" and lost my little mind... and of course, I never actually saw one of those entertainment centers before their moment had passed :(
    Anyway, thanks to you and Nostalgia Nerd for going through the huge headache it took to even capture this game footage! And just, like, thanks in general for putting out so many great vids this year - we all know you have had some rough patches (to say the least) but you really are just incredibly fun to watch. I'm glad I discovered your channel this year! Really, _really_ hoping that your 2020 is going to be excellent and your RUclipsr experience goes smoother than it did in 2019 :D

My brother and sisters were probably off with my mum looking at the other attractions.

    24:37 There was this movie Staring Sinbad called "First Kid". There is a small scene in the movie where the "First Kid" is playing one of these games. I am happy to see I finally know the name of it. I will say, with our new VR technology, I I think it's time to try to port these games over (If it can be done). Probably the only way the regular Joe could play them now a days.

    I vividly remember playing VTOL in an arcade in Leicester in the '90s. I loved it. It was a sit-down cabinet, I don't remember the modesty screen. I had to wait about 20 years to get a home version (Rift).. Would love to have a go at the old Virtuality cabinet again, but I worry that it'll ruin my rose tinted memory with a bucket of cold physical reality.

    Thanks so much for making this video! My childhood arcade (Sportime USA) briefly had one of these earlier units. They were gone within months and I only had the chance to play once. I've made a few futile attempts to remember what the single game they offered was over the years. I vaguely remembered being in a cityscape with a hang glider. Now I know it was Hero, mystery solved. Looking back it wasn't all that impressive. I remember being disappointed and kind of confused. At least now I know there wasn't any real objective I was missing. A game with actual multiplayer interaction, guns, flying pterodactyls, etc. probably would've been even more mind blowing to ten year old me.

    The real world is love and sadly, most people are living from their ego instead of their heart because they forgot they ARE love (we all are, duh!) So most are still in “virtual” reality already. Let’s all get back to the heart please. Kids think we’re insane and they’re right! (from someone who had to go through a lot of pain to remember this). Anyway, thanks for the video sister! 🐶
