What the hell did I see?

Post by Gooseberrysoda »

I was at a garage sale and saw something that looked like a triangular Virtual Boy, without a stand. It was black, and filthy so I didn't really want to look in it. It looked to be maybe a rip-off or some kind of gimmicky late 80's electronic thing... can anyone tell me if it was worth anything or what it was?

telstar arcade is what immediately jumps to my mind, but it's not a headset of any kind.

Maybe a R-zone. I had the head set version. Its not worth much though, I might buy the handheld version if i can find it.

I'm guessing it also wasn't the Konami Laserscope for NES?
