Virtuality - Dactyl Nightmare 2 Promotional Video

Vintage VR goodness! Here is the attraction video for "Dactyl Nightmare 2 - Race for the Eggs!" which was a virtual reality experience for the Virtuality SU2000 system. Introduced in 1995, this timed game (1-6 minutes) could be played by up to 4 players. The object was to collect eggs matching your player color, and shoot to neutralize all opposing players.

I vaguely remember playing this game at Epcot back in the 90s. All I could remember about it was that an egg was involved somewhere, and how completely disorienting and disappointing the experience was. I don't think I even actually ever found any eggs myself in the game, I was too busy just trying to figure out how to move around. I'm so glad that modern consumer VR is nothing at all like this. I spent some studying the Vive's controller before I put the headset on, remember how frustrating it was to forget where a button was and having to blindly feel around for it. When I first strapped on the headset, and was able to see the controller on the ground and pick it up without any issues was a huge 'wow' moment for me.

I have to keep reminding myself that this was back when dialup was the only way you could access the internet.
