EmuVR Lets You Play '80s/'90s Videogames--in '80s/'90s Virtual Reality Settings

You can even choose to play them on crappy '80s TV sets

As current tech stands, this is probably the closest we can get to an actual time machine. EmuVR is a retro emulation that lets you pop on the goggles to play an Atari 2600, a Commodore 64, an NES, a Sega Genesis and other consoles of yore--inside of an '80s/'90s bedroom setting. Period-authentic snack packages, movie posters and décor are featured, as is your choice of crappy CRT television.

"You can even stream videos to the TVs and watch your favourite Saturday morning cartoons," reviewer John Judge points out on Indieverse. The only thing that's missing are your parents nagging you to "turn that fool thing off" and join them at the kitchen table.

This hits the uncanny valley for me. It's too real. It's too escapist and nostalgic. It's too easy to imagine falling into a VR hole with this.

I hope they add the feature where you have to blow on the cartridge over and over until the console accepts it.
