So just how great is Andrea?To answer that question, you have to ask another question.
Just how great is a woman who not only tolerates her boyfriend's obsessions, but encourages them to the point of obtaining rare and exotic games systems, when he fails to obtain them himself?
The answer to this question is very *VERY* great :D
What on earth am I talking about?
*****THIS****
"And just what exactly is that?" I hear you ask.
It's a Nintendo Virtual Boy. Never sold in the UK, and a complete flop in America and Japan too, so.... rare as hens teeth, especially over here.
But that's not even what makes it so special.
It's 3D, and by that, I don't mean 3D like a playstation game, I mean like... actual depth perception... and vastly better than using silly coloured glasses.
It's odd, playing it, coz... it doesn't have colour gfx (it's shades of red and black), and it doesn't have 3D graphics in the traditional gaming sense. but the moment you play it, it makes absolute sense, and you wind up asking yourself why all games aren't like that.
So is it good?
It's absolutely bloody fantastic.
It's criminally insane that this thing wasn't a hit. It impresses like nothing else, even after 10 or so years since it was axed.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play Mario Tennis like you've never seen it before.
