The raw scans are available here if you’re curious: https://www.virtual-boy.com/hardware/virtual-boy-interactive-display/downloads/1055493/

It will probably take a while, but I will piece them together and clean them up and upload the edited images as well. Three (sides of) inserts are done so far, eight more to go. 🙂

The forums aren’t super active these days, but I try to drop in for a look from time to time (hence why I only just saw this). Nowadays the site mainly functions as an archive.

As others have said, please feel free to join the discord, as this is where most of the activity happens, and we’d be glad to have you. Hope things are looking up. All the best,
TRM.

Reach out and I’ll send you a free copy of WZ. I may be able to get you a rumble as well. Depends on stock levels. A lot of us are on Discord these days.

I was pretty active on this site from 2011 – 2015. I registered a few days before I purchased my Virtual Boy in 2011. I had the cables soldered, collected some cool games (my collection), and was even part of the original Hyper Fighting pre-order. Right about the time I stopped posting here my fiancé broke up with me while I was across the country burying a loved one. That was a lot for me and so I took some advice and moved home. After that, I fell into depression, found a job, sustained a new life long injury, fell into depression again, then the pandemic hit, then I lost my Father to surgery complications, then a few months later I lost my Mom due to complications from the mRNA COVID vaccination (it literally stopped her heart and the Hospital had no explanation). The last 2 months have been so stressful. I’m constantly battling siblings who expect an estate payout, while I’m trying to find a way to keep my home. I spent the past 4 years caring for my parents. I did this because someone had to, and I never asked for anything in return. Because of this I could not work. My qualifications are varied (I did a lot of odd jobs/labor, etc, before my injury) despite holding a Master’s in computers. Now the only jobs I qualify for are physical and do not pay enough to take over the taxes, utilities, and mortgage (If I can qualify for a loan). I followed my desires in life and not a career, I regret this now. I’m going to lose my home and the place where my parents died in front of me. The stress has caused some new heart issues. Every day now is a struggle between having enough to eat and drink, anxiety, depression, and motivation. I have a lot to do and a lot I need to accomplish. I just wish I had help or some kind of support. Being alone truly sucks.

I still have my VB and my games. In fact, my VB is set-up. I had intended to play it a little just before I lost my Mom. It will eventually end up in storage until I can find a way to get my own life together. I don’t know what brought me to PVB today. I really just wanted those who remember me to know I’m still around. I hope to treat myself to a CIB copy of Virtual WarZone and a rumble pack in the near future. After my life is settled, my living situation is fixed, I have everything cleaned, packed, and in a storage facility, I cut ties with my negative family members, and after a possible future job allows me to spend some money on my favorite gaming system again!

Peace and blessings. I truly hope everyone is well and happy.
