VIRTUAL ARCADE VISITThe thrills aren't cheap, but for about $895, game players can enjoy arcade-style virtual reality at home on their PCs. VFXsuperscript1 Headgear from Forte Technologies (716 427-8595) combines a binocular video display and stereo earphones in a helmet that senses the motions of your head. Additional game control is provided by a handheld motion sensor called a CyberPuck (available separately for $60). The rig takes a bit of getting used to. I found I got tangled in cables as I moved around (though by limiting movement, they probably kept me from stumbling into nonvirtual furniture). A list of all the DOS and Windows 95 games the system runs is found at http://www.fortevr.com. BY STEPHEN H. WILDSTROM
