This looks like a great idea for a new game. This could result in something that could go viral.

That dream made me laugh, too. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

VN10000940[8] (USA Demo)

Many thanks, Virtual Jockey. I will take very good care of this system and will do my best to keep it in collector’s status condition for many years to come.

I can vouch for the fact that a boxed soft case is the hardest Virtual Boy item to find on the collection list. You will find more complete copies of Virtual Bowling or Virtual Lab available online than you will ever find a boxed soft case. The TravelMaster Case is almost as rare and almost never shows its face.

Thanks for the demo, Virtual_Ben! I sure hope that you and thunderstruck do end up making this a full game that can be played on the Virtual Boy. It looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Attached are some pictures of the game that I made from the PC Demo that Virtual_Ben sent to me.

I sure am glad that this guy isn’t part of Planet Virtual Boy’s High Score competition for V-Tetris:

I’ve been playing the original Donkey Kong (Arcade version) on the MAME emulator. Hats off to Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell. I don’t think I’ll ever even break 100,000 points in this version.

I have to agree that the hydro dipped Virtual Boy looks very good. But I think that not painting over the Virtual Boy logo was the best idea. I don’t know how it looks up close in real life, but I think it looks great in the picture as is.

That’s a pretty neat list.

From where did you pull most of the figures?

I like that Krisse already numbered all the boxes, since he is the original maker of the boxes. That way, the numbering style remains consistent and can, indeed, reflect the order that the boxes were printed off, if Krisse kept them in such order. 😉

Now the question is: how would you split the boxes? If people want a low number and they know that either Luke or I have all the low numbers, that could create a dilemma. Perhaps send Luke all the odd numbers and send me all the evens or vice versa?

I would be very happy to receive half of the boxes. However, I am wondering how I should go about numbering them if the inventory gets split, as Dor-Si mentioned. I guess Luke and I could keep in contact with each other and let each other know what number we are on.

The reference to the North American release total of 14 games followed by the reference to 2 of the 8 Japan-only titles allegedly being included in the total of 14 makes me smile.

Hey Krisse,

If L___E___T decides that he doesn’t want to be responsible for building FlashBoy Plus boxes and distributing them to current and future FlashBoy Plus owners in the future whenever the interest arises, I will gladly take over the task.

I can ensure that unless I die, I will carry on the torch for years on down the road if necessary and that no box will get left behind. 🙂

Send me a PM or e-mail if L___E___T changes his mind.

The Chu Chu Rocket-type game appears as “Nice Mice” under the homebrew section. One has to press the “All” tab under the homebrew section to find all available games.

oops… see next post.

Found this tucked away, if anyone’s interested in the 3D glasses sealed that came with the Nintendo power with the Virtual boy on the cover. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtual-Boy-3D-Glasses-UNOPENED-envelope-from-Nintendo-Power-Issue-75-RARE-/280980791761?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item416bc2a1d1

It saddens me that I already saw one of these go for over $40.00 on an Ebay auction recently. If Ebay bidders were smarter, they would realize that a lot of the Issue #75 magazines that are listed on Ebay already come with these glasses in them. Thus, it would be smarter to contact an Ebay seller who is selling the whole magazine for much less and simply ask if the glasses are still included in the magazine.

Hrms..did that auction stand actually have the portion that holds the controller up ?..just want to make sure before someone makes a big offer for it.

Now that I read the seller’s description, I noticed that also the system doesn’t come with an instruction manual and the seller admits that, so those looking for a complete Mosaic unit would really want to stay away from this auction, regardless of how nice of condition everything else is in. My Mosaic unit came with an instruction manual that has the same serial number on it as the system itself, and as far as I can tell, this serial number on the instruction manual is original, not added later by some seller. Can another Mosaic-system-with-manual owner verify that the manual should come with an original serial number on it that matches that of the system?

I actually have a good feeling that if the seller is offered an amount equal to half of what he is asking, he’ll probably accept it since he’d still be making a profit on the sale. If he doesn’t accept an amount for half, then it is definitely not worth the effort.

Many thanks for the new video, Mr. G! One thing I notice: YouTube videos of Faceball 2000 for the Super Nintendo and Game Boy show that in both versions, when the player takes damage from an enemy, the player slowly gets health back over a period time if he or she does not get hit again for a certain period of time. My question is: after taking damage, does the player slowly get his or her health back in Faceball for the Virtual Boy? I know the little smiley face in the lower left corner of the screen must represent the player’s health, but based on all the photographs and the video posted, I can’t tell if he ever gets happy again after becoming sad from taking damage.

I’ve seen a few mosaic box units sell in the $300.00 to $600.00 range in the year and a half that I have been keeping track of the market. That is just for the mosaic box unit.

The black stand that comes with it is even harder to find. I think the most recent one sold for $200.00 to $300.00, and I remember some seller trying to sell one for $800.00 but I don’t think he was ever successful.
