Quote: “After playing Virtual Boy you'll never look at games the same way again.”
Indicates: This new innovative system brings many fresh ideas to the world of gaming.
True Meaning: After playing Virtual Boy you'll never look at ANYTHING again. Being blinded is a bitch but don't say they didn't warn you.
