| Machine Description | Looking a bit like a `Sphinx`, the 1000SU had a bench that you sat on while donning the
Visette, after removing it from the plastic head that holds it. The 1000SU has a display screen at the front, so that external viewers can see what the player sees, as well as viewing the running demo of the game & its instructions. To experience the game, the player would stand on a mat, next to the machine, attached by the Visette cabling. The Expality computer was located under the bench. The 1000SU opened up, hinging at the front, to access the Exaplity. |
