Linus Tries VR From 1994

Linus dusts off a mid-’90s VR headset—complete with its iconic beige bulk—to see if DOS-era tech could ever deliver on the promise of immersive gaming. He boots up classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad and Descent, bracing for sluggish framerates and pixel soup, but ends up pleasantly surprised by how playable it actually feels.

Between marveling at the chunky hardware and poking fun at 90s design choices, he walks through the headset’s specs, the setup quirks and the genuine nostalgia of experiencing early virtual reality firsthand.
