For years I have been waiting for a legendary 'Virtual Reality' game wear you put on a visor and game while thinking you are really playing, there are a few ideas/examples I have seen.

The X-files episode, where there was a virtual reality FPS and it looked great - except for the bug that it kills you.

The dangerous ride sims in theme parks, where the seats move and there is surround sound etc.

Sega Lock-on - you have the visors at least! this is a great game with a few friend and a forest, where you have infra-red gun (like Laser Quest). A good idea is to take them to Centre Parks!

I have not actually seen any thing else that is at all like these wonders. but hopefully in the future we will see Virtual Reality as the Playstation is now.

If you ever visit Ibiza, which many people often do, then go to Ibiza town and just up and to the left of the main bus station there is a road that contains a record shop and, on the left, an arcade.

The arcade is interesting for the fact that it still has two of the original VR arcade games in it. They were about a £1 a go last year and they are definately worth experiencing, if only to see how technology has progressed!

Just don't eat too much before trying them
