Because of development difficulties the Sega VR remained only a prototype, it was last seen at computer shows in 1993 and vanished from the release schedules in 1994. Four games were apparently developed for the system, using 16 Mb cartridges they were to be bundled with the headset.
The company claimed the project was stopped because the VR was so real users would move while wearing the headset and injure themselves. The limited processing power of the Genesis system makes this claim unlikely, although there were reports of testers developing motion sickness.
Sega went on to other VR projects for use in arcades and a similar add-on was reported but never seen for the Sega Saturn. The project encouraged a brief flurry of other companies to offer VR products.
