Linus Tries 1994 VR

Linus Sebastian straps on a hilariously chunky beige headset to revisit the earliest era of virtual reality—back when DOS ruled and polygons were gloriously jagged. He jumps into classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad, and Descent, reacting with equal parts amusement and surprise at how playable (and clunky) VR was three decades ago.

Between spit-takes and “wow, that’s pixelated” commentary, he digs into the dated hardware, teases out its quirks, and even finds moments where the “next big thing” almost lived up to the hype. It’s a fun, nostalgia-filled trip that proves retro VR has its own charm—even if you’ll need a forklift to lug the headset around.
