Subject: Virtuality making home model? NBC Nightly News Blurb.

  I was flipping channels last night and came across a segment on
Virtuality on NBC Nightly News. NBC was reporting on Virtuality's
"Virtual Reality Arcade games" and showed some clips. (The same
type of game that was on Primetive Live with the gun/platform)
Not very in depth, but at the end, the reporter said
"Virtuality is rushing to produce a home version of their system
before Christmas" (paraphrased). Very Interesting. I have heard that
they use Amiga's and 486's with TI34010 cards. This should place the price
of their home system around $2k. ($1500 computer system, $100 LCD
shutter glasses, 3d joystick (space stick?), glove?, TIGA card?)

  I would buy one of these if they came out! I'd like to try some of
virtuality's games, but it's not worth paying for a flight to the UK. :(
