Details: Made by AWT (alternate worlds technology) was the reality rocket. With big name game licences like Wolfenstein 3D, AWT wanted to bring the biggest first person shooter games to either it’s sit down “reality rocket” or stand up arcade machine. Tethering a connection between these 2 arcade machines and you could play Cybertag VR which was the world’s first multi-player vr arcade game.

Our Thoughts: AWT had it good in the arcades in the early 90’s. AWT soon learned how to ruggedize HMD’s for public access use along with what works and what doesn’t with VR and the general public. At one time, the only virtual reality arcade machine in the bigger arcades was AWT’s. Despite the terrible graphics and poor head movements, people still loved it. It was something that not a lot of other virtual reality games had and that was fun.
