Paperboy

The world's first video game about having your soul crushed by the responsibilities of work, Paperboy has some pretty awesome potential if it had a virtual reality/bicycle contraption. The use of a stationary, VR-equipped bike would eliminate the need for a clunky, full-body virtual reality setup. It would also promote physical fitness for the unfortunate paperboy, who has to avoid a surreal neighborhood full of more crippling dangers than the average war zone. You could always save a lot of money by just riding your bike outside and throwing newspapers at people, but where's the fun in that?

Smash TV

There will probably be hundreds of shooters that make their way into the VR gaming scene, but my favorite retro shooter is Smash TV, which encourages you to mow down thousands of one-hit weirdos on live TV in order to win a cash prize. It's chaotic madness at its finest, and virtual reality would greatly simplify the two-controller control scheme of the NES original. Sure, you'll be spinning around in frantic, sweaty circles as murderers swarm you from all directions, but that's better than having to use two control pads at once, right?

Castlevania

Forget about the shooters for a moment, and think vampires and monsters. Picture a life-or-death struggle against an army of skeletons, bats, swamp monsters, and vampires. If you feel that there's a certain amount of satisfaction in your average headshot, Castlevania triples that by doing it with a whip. While doctors may never understand what whipping thousands of undead monsters might do to your arm, it'll definitely be fun to find out. Just don't eat the wall meat—it's been there for like five hundred years.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Now that we're immersed in another reality, let's play around a bit with disorientation. Sonic's unholy lust for golden rings propels him at dizzying speeds through vibrant landscapes to a Michael Jackson-inspired soundtrack, but could you, puny human, hold up under the strain of that velocity? Racing cars isn't really something that would make a truly interesting VR game, because you can just get into a real car if that's what you're into, but running at insane speeds and spinning into evil robots? That's the kind of thing that virtual reality dreams are made of.
