And Finally (for now) - the crossbar and back panel on the SD.

More to come as I work on them.

SD first, then the CS.

Neither worked though - both Amigas were dead.

Lucky I had a spare one, that's now in the SD. I am working on getting Exorex working on that soon!

I `Must be` the VR guy.... :p
I have 4 machines (tho one is half ownership with RCM)

I also have much 2000 kit, that I will be also working on.

I dont know how many are left, but I`d love one more CS to make a collection of 4, and another SD to make it a 2 player.

First things first - I need to get these two working.. so as I progress on them I`ll post pics on here.

Love it - those are in really nice condition too! I remember 4 SD's at Sega World in Sydney but alas I never got a chance to play them before we moved on to the next location. I've never seen them in the wild since.

How long do we think they were in actual circulation and use in the wild? 1 year? 2 years? More?

Virtuality systems were only launched in 1991 so would be late '91 or '92 at the earliest.

,It was years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be

Hey, it's 23 years ago and a couple of years out isn't bad....:) I only know 'cos I bought my first machine in '92 and went with the guys from W-Industries to the Troc to see and play them before we did the deal.
 
I never realised these ran off Amiga's until this post. Don't think I ever saw one of these in the flesh back in the day although they were in plenty of magazines at the time as the next big thing.

Very cool Simon, whats the difference with the Stand up and Sit down ones? did they have different games?

was recently listening to The Prodigy, not sure why someone labelled it What Evil Lurks so looked up were the sample of Zereos and Ones is from, it's actually Jesus Jones - Zereos and Ones (Prodigy Vs Jesus Jones Mix) Awesome track but like I do these days I don't miss any signs, so wondering why they talking about 0s and 1s I look up the Jesus Jones lyrics

Your probably wondering where I'm going with this but watch the Video, there is a link to VR Machines


There is certainly some interesting visuals in the video and the lyrics for 1993 say a lot too, well they do to me
