We still have memories -- some would say nightmares, but we digress -- of hanging out at a neighbor's house and taking turns playing matches of
Mario's Tennis, our biological ocular displays assimilated into a rubber mask that engulfed our brains and left us in a permanent state of viewing the world in red wireframe. Crude 3D though it may be, it's still a part of history we must accept, and if you happen to own a Virtual Boy, we have just two things to say to you. One: we're insanely jealous. Two: if you ever need to know how to rip it to shreds for repair / stress relief,
iFixit's got you covered. In the world of Man with Screwdriver vs. Game Console, yet again Man wins. Seems a perfect ending to a week that featured
Atari 2600,
Nintendo Famicon,
RCA Studio II, and
Magnavox Odyssey 100. Check out highlights in the gallery below, or hit up
iFixit for the whole shebang.
