On the off chance that I would be using VR headsets in the first place - I might.

Much in the same way I will happily play a well maintained pinball machine from the last millennium, or an arcade game in a lovingly restored cabinet from 30+ years ago.

There is an allure to retro-gaming with MAME (which I love), but for some of us, going properly vintage can have a special meaning.

I don’t know, it was Carmack’s hypothetical not mine.

I was playing around on a 486 machine the other day. It's not impossible someone might.

Yes?

The retro computer museum in Leicester has a few of the Virtuality systems, which are still great fun.

Loads of people hack on old hardware.

I have 2 Google cardboards on my shelf.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is still on Android 7 so I can still use the GearVR headset.

I think work still has a carton or two of actual cardboard boxes with plastic lenses that you shove any random phone into, from when we were doing VR meeting stuff back at the beginning of Covid.
