Linus Tries VR From 1994

Linus straps into a hulking, beige ’90s VR rig and fires up classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad and Descent—brace yourself for low-res textures, choppy framerates and a whole lot of nostalgia. It’s clunky, it’s heavy, but against all odds it’s kind of charming.

After testing the games, he cracks open the hardware to see what makes that prehistoric headset tick. The result? A fun look back at early VR’s glory (and growing) pains—definitely more amusing than mind-blowing.
