Well, it came out when I was in college. Money was tight, but most Friday’s a few of my friends and I would go out to blockbuster and look for a movie. Well, they would look, and I would play the VB demo that they had set up. I always thought i’d rent one, but never got around to it. The next year…it was gone. I didn’t think that much about it. It didn’t cross my mind to buy one. It was college and I thought it would cost 200 dollars and who new how much for the games.
Well, my wife and I were online last week looking around and came across and article with some odd (hate to say it ugly) tech. And there was a picture of the VB. My wife said something like ‘What the hell is that ?’ and I said ‘OH…wait..I know what that is…it’s pretty cool’. After looking around I found a few web sites. I saw the price wasn’t that bad so, I picked one up from E-bay. Just waiting for it now…it has the blockbuster box, Tennis, Red Alarm, and Teleroboxer. Now, I’m wishing I had the flash cart to try out some games before I buy some more.
Well, I guess I didn’t understand that rom’s were already created for most of the games and demo’s. It would be interesting to see the dolphins/starfox demo. From what I understand you can only keep one game/demo on the flashboy at a time ? Also without the flashboy..how did someone play some of the homebrew games ? did they just write over a game ?
