The Virtual Boy

== Author’s note ==
Please take note that this is a rewritten of one of IceyPie’s fewer known pastas; Never Play The Virtual Boy For Over 15 Minutes. Which is something that i want which also needs to be rewritten for a long time up until now.
Also along with a side note: please don’t be confused with another Virtual Boy-related pasta, which being The Entity in Red.
== The Story ==
Virtual Boy is one of the infamous failed Nintendo consoles out there alongside R.O.B due to the claims of people having "eye strains and headaches" after using it for quite a long time if being brought. Nowadays people would look back to it and found it quite interesting but also sad when it got discontinued.
The games themselves where this; it’s palettes are only both red and black, just like the console itself. And the only way you could need to play it is to put the Virtual Boy on your eyes just like a VR headset, simple is that and i’m not kidding that is how you play the console. Please take note it’s from the 1990s this console, so it might’ve went ahead itself away before the current generation that we all live in.
When it was first released; everyone rushed into their local video game stores and bought it right straight ahead. They read the instructions and hook the console up and play one of the games that came along with it; the everloving-so popular Virtual Boy game of all time, Wario Land. 
The first thing they saw was the warning screen with the words: "IMPORTANT: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTION BOOKLETS BEFORE OPERATING" appearing on screen along with the bottom row, being the Japanese translation. Just like any gamers, would they accept it before another screen popped up, asking them to use the auto-pause feature; which is where every 30 minutes the game pauses, just to remind people to take a break for a while before resuming their playtime. However with some unlucky gamers, they selected off, just so they start playing their Virtual Boy right in time. 
They would play the games for quite a long time (with one claiming of playing the Virtual Boy for a whole hour), this is when something happened. 
When playing the Virtual Boy for the long time the game would shut itself off seconds before a man in a office suit with a comically large tie; looking very drawn for a Virtual Boy game would appeared on-screen, staring at the player with a small frown of disappointment plastered on his face. White animated scrolling text then would appeared on both top and bottom rows between him saying in japanese, "You’ve played the Virtual Boy for quite a long time", there was no music but silence as a female japanese narrator says the same exact thing as the text itself.
Feeling weirded out at that certain point, gamers would finally stop using the virtual boy and then would experience a bizarre type of colorblindness, seeing only both red and black as the result of using the console for a really long time. Some of the people would become panicked about it, trying to convinced themselves that it was a dream, but however it was not with some reporting that they are seeing the same character from the Virtual Boy in their sight but then popping off, making this whole scenario worse for them as some of them have mental breakdowns over it, but it was claimed each time as "sets of hallucinations".
People would also have what they said was; heavy headaches that was so severe and yet, painful that they felt like vomiting for the rest of the day until they’re gone on the next day; leaving them with either mild or severe memory loss from the events prior.
These claims would spread onto Nintendo with their letterboxes flooded with each and other claim about the virtual boy itself. Resulting them to discontinue the Virtual Boy and also stopping sales of it aswell.
Now you know why the Virtual Boy got discontinued in the first place.
