I once owned 2 VBs, with a Blockbuster custom case, I'd sold one of the units for the same price I'd paid, $30.
I had all of the North American released titles, but sold Water World since it was even worse than the movie. The system isn't bad, and while the library isn't spectacular, it's still enjoyable for short gaming sessions. Tolero Boxer is my favorite title for the system.
Is that even fucking possible?!Quote:

Not awful as a system (Though the red and black really hurts your vision on some games), but the game library is just so lacking.
Vertical Force is probably the only game I really enjoyed on the system. A fun little shooter that's not like the bullet hell ones of today.
Mario Clash's gameplay is weird and boring. Mario Bros, but not as fun.
Wario is just too long and doesn't work with the red/black pallette. Good game, but horrible to play on the Virtual Boy.
Mario Tennis has no depth perception and pales in comparison to Mario Tennis on N64.
Teleroboxer is way too hard.
3D Tetris is really unfun and hard to figure out what's going on due to the 3D view.
And Galactic Pinball isn't really fit for the Virtual Boy, and the boards are plain.
With the high prices the games and system command today and the fact that 95% of the games are seriously not fun to play, it's not worth the investment.
The Virtual Boy was so lame, that there was next to no interest in emulating it.
I loved Waterworld. Right up there with The Postman, it's one of my favorite SciFi films.
Teleroboxer or something along those lines, decent game actually, so bad example :pQuote:

Mario Clash, which is alright, except it was only cutting edge in 1984, not after Super Mario World
Mario Tennis, yeah, it's alright i guess, it's tennis?
So yeah, those 4, I know there is 10 more, but still, the game may of been cool to see in the 3D perspective once, but for the most part what i've played and seen is like a collection of minigames on horrible gimmicky hardware
Postman you say?
That game looks pretty kickass, but what does it have to do with Postmanship?
I've had two virtual boys myself. A friend loaned me a half broken one missing all of its parts, and I later got a complete unit of my own.
Overall I like the system. I've spent a long time playing it and my eyes don't hurt. They do feel pretty odd when I "come up" out of the system though, requiring a few minutes to adjust to reality again.

It lives here, hoping some unsuspecting person will stuff their face in it.
For a moment there I got excited, but then I realized that is just a nosecone in the upper left, next to your boxed set of Flowery Twats, and not an energy dome.
Hey, just because my miniature traffic cone isn't blessed by Devo is no reason to be hard on it.
Have you seen the system that lets you play the VB games on your tv?

Modding your VB never hurts too.

I don't plan on getting one on less I bump into one at a good will or something but meh.
Get a Game.Com. Hours of masochist enjoyment! (Try MK Trilogy for the best effect)
But OT, I played a Virtual Boy BITD at Toys R Us quite a bit. I was never impressed.
No, it's more like a broken ripoff of Battlezone.Quote:
