Linus Tries VR From 1994

Linus dusts off a mid-’90s VR rig that looks like a beige relic, straps it on, and boots up classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad, and Descent. Despite expectations of laggy pixel soup, the demo actually holds its own—though the giant headset and chunky hardware remind us how far VR has come.

After blasting through early FPS favorites, Linus peels back the layers to show off the clunky monitors, cables, and controllers that powered this prehistoric headset. It’s a fun trip down nostalgia lane, proving that even the roughest tech once felt cutting edge.
