I’m living in Japan for a year (only a month and a half left though..) and one of my japanese friends has a friend who used to work at Hudson. He was impressed and delighted that I like games so much I think, and recently he gave me a boxed Vertical Force, signed by Takahashi Meijin, who worked at Hudson. If you don’t know who he is, he got famous in Japan in the 80s for being able to rapid-press the fire button in schmups a record 16 times in one second. He was also the inspiration so to speak for the main character in Adventure Island which is called Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima in Japan.
So a cool present to say the least!

That’s cool, good score!

That’s really cool!

Very cool! I am in Japan on vacation for four more days at the moment. Hoped to find something cool about the Virtual Boy that would be affordable, though not that easy to find. Then I read about this, so excited for you! These are the best finds, free, from a close source and unexpected, treasure it!

That is definitely a very nice collectors piece.

That’s basically a one-of-a-kind collectible, enjoy it!
