Do they expect both people who bought it in 1995 to be nostalgic enough to buy it again 30 years later?

I think you mean "Dumb enough". I got one of those used for super cheap just for the hell of it, I used it like 3 times and re-sold it.

Some kid in the neighborhood got one, and all the rest of us were so jealous. Then he let me play it one day showing it off. I was bored pretty quickly and remeber thinking something along the lines of, "Wow, I can't believe a Nintendo system sucks."

I had a virtual boy- those things were amazing I really dug playing those weird games that were all red lines. I had the tennis, a jet shooter game that was really fun and one other game.

I feel like if you played that thing for more than 20 minutes you would go cross-eyed forever.

It was interesting, it still sucked.

They were really hard on the eyes and the brain for sure but I found it appealing for some reason, possibly the form factor and it was so damned weird.
