Well if anyone knows what bit the VB is considered I'm all ears. As for it not being a forum for it well we'd love to give a forum for everything but then if gets to be like the old forum for those that have seen it.

Its funny that you mention the VB, I was watching a show that was taking about that last night on G4techtv. The oddest thing they said was if you played it for a hour or more when you look away you cant see red. Tha just confused and suprised me.

The reason for the red thingy is because of the chemicals in our eyes. Each main color has a certain chemical that is released by our receptor cells that send certain signals to our brain. They allow us to see color. Its kinda like RGB for a monitor, each has different signals but you put them together and you get a screen.
Two things could be happening, the chemical for red in our eyes gets depleted (since our cells can only store and make so much in a time frame) that we cant see red, and to compensate, other colors are more prounounced.
Also, if you stare at something colorful long enough then look at something plain and white, you see the afterimage but its the opposite colors. That is because the chems for the opposite colors are stimulated by the release of color actually seen... or something like that.
Also, I never owned a VB and played it only twice in my lifetime, I do not remember much.... :(
When in Japan with access to just about every system ever made and those that have yet to see international soil, gather your forces, and make the cool ones your own.

I believe the processor is 32-bit, 20MHz, but I could be wrong.
