First off. Here is the final box design. I wanted to get everyone that wanted one’s approval before going through with these.

The Box and Manual combo will be $25
Box only $15
Manual Only $12

I’d suggest paying up front to make sure you get one. I don’t know how many I will be making. Roughly 50 combo’s I’d say, and then that’s likely it. Pm me for my paypal info or you can directly email me at vince@uncletusk.com. I look forward to this being the first of many VB repros boxes. I’d say these will be available in about 2-3 weeks for shipping.

Reserved Copies
BigMak – 2 combo’s
Gwyndion – 1 combo

Count me in. I’ll send you a PM right now.

Mhm the World in the Backround looks too real. It should look more like comic. Besides that i am wondering why you go for that ugly US Box design. The japanes Box design was much better.

I have a question about this. Does this mean that if a lot of people post on this thread, saying they don’t like the box design, you will change the design? I don’t want to send you a prepayment for what I think I am going to get and then the design gets drastically changed later. The way I see it, if people like the design and want to pay $25.00 for a combo, then they order it. If they don’t like the design, then they don’t order it.

Please clarify.

Thanks.

I’m just making sure I didn’t screw anything up that I don’t know about VB games. I’m an NES collector. I’m very confident in this design. The world is what was designed by someone else. I’m not sure who. But I touched up the color a little bit and used it.

That’s all. Small grammar errors and what not.

Ahhh… that’s good. Thanks for the clarification.

Sign me up!! . I’m interested on 1 combo !!

Alright, you’re in!

Vince

sing me also in for 1 Box and Manual combo and please send me a pm to where i need to pay
greetings
mawa

I´m also interested in one Combo. How much is shipping to Germany? Thanks

Sign me up for a combo please!

Sign me up for the manual only please!

This is awesome!

That looks awesome! Please put me down for two combos!

Also, there is a misspelling on the third bullet point on the back of the box. It reads:

“Challenging scenarios will *provice* players…” This should say “provide.”

One letter isn’t a biggie, especially since one of the original games, Virtual Lab, had “Nintenndo” misspelled. I was just wondering if it wasn’t too late to change that?

Post #86 here has the spell corrected version of the original:

Put me down for a combo please.

Put me down for a combo as well; this looks great!

When you say other repros – what do you have in mind? I thought repros had stoppped now?
I think folks here might be a bit concerned if VB repros went the route of lucrative repros as seen on NintendoAge.

I’m interested in a combo though, without putting cash down right now that is.

I think it would be great if more repros were made. NintendoAge shows that it could turn a profit..

I think he meant other released cartridges of Virtual Boy games, instead of reproductions of commercially released games. Richard only said that no more reproductions of commercial games, whether officially released or not, will be made by him. All homebrew titles are open game, however, just as long as the creator of each game allows carts of the game to be made, and thus, also boxes and/or instruction booklets to go along with them.

Also, I know for a fact that Richard isn’t the only one on this site who knows how to make reproduction carts of Virtual Boy games. If another capable person decides to take on the task, reproduction carts could still be made.

Exactly.

I do not plan to ever make a box that you could readily just buy for x amount of cash. I’d only make boxes and manuals for new homebrew games or old ones if there’s enough interest. This Bound High box and manual is an experiment in itself to see if there’s enough interest for it. It seems to be going well. I’m looking forward to doing lots of these. Ive had enough people come and ask me to do this, that I finally was like. It’s Time! haha. so, here we are.

So, if you guys ever want anything, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

I’m going to correct the misspelling. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the clarification UncleTusk – you’ve got a good reputation so please rest assured I wasn’t slamming anyone’s intentions, just wanted to pose the question to cear up a few misconceptions that could have been floating around etc.

I totally understand your worries. I worry the same thing about game boxes and bad people. I get emails weekly asking for repro boxes of actual games that are rare. “but it’s for my collection” haha. Yeah right.

Tusk.
