Crikey thats a lot of bucks, it can’t really worth $1500?

I saw it and I was like 😮 but the realized it didn’t have the inner white cardboard tray and went 🙁

(I know, thats silly that I am like that over complete VB games, right? oh well, its not like I could get it anyways)

anyways… Space Pinball promo: http://cgi.ebay.com/nintendo-virtual-boy-SPACE-PINBALL-ARTWORK-SUPER-RARE-/130434593899?pt=de_entertainment_games&hash=item1e5e81f46b (also, this guy is selling other VB related stuff)

Well… I wouldn’t unless if they were saying something hateful against the Virtual Boy 😉

Don’t harsh on peoples’ religious beliefs. People can believe in whatever they want. Calling their beliefs lame isn’t going to win you any “cool” points, or make you any friends.

just like how calling the Virtual Boy lame (especially if you never played one) doesn’t win you any “cool” points? 😛

(even though I’m not religious myself I thought I’d say so)

oops, sorry I’m offtopic

Did you buy it online? I think you got scammed, there’s no way the Japanese version would be in English.

He did not get scammed. All versions are in English.

I don’t think there are any fake copies (or at least not commonly) of Virtual Boy games due to people not buying them as much as GBA or DS games

has there ever been fake VB games? (and no I don’t mean some cover someone made in photoshop for fun)

Modern 3D has exactly the same capacity to do that and you don’t hear people whining about it.

I know, I have the same opinions…

The only people who hate the VB are those who never tried one, didn’t set the IPD dial and/or Focus right or just want to be “cool” and agree with everyone else because its the popular opinion that the VB is automatically bad 🙁

what makes me even angrier than people like that, are people who said it “killed Yokoi”, first off, the VB isn’t the car or was driving that car that killed him, secondly, Yokoi was planning retirement (from Nintendo, but he actually wanted to create his own company “Koto laboratories” that would rival against Microsoft) before the Virtual Boy, and it is said he mentions in his book that the Virtual Boy was meant to be his “thank you” last invention because he thought he’d give his team one more invention because he liked Nintendo so much, but sadly Yamauchi made him sell them before they were finished, so if the VB succeeded, he would have still left Nintendo, thirdly, people say “the VB killed Yokoi because he would have never been on that road that day if it were not for the VB” but seriously he could have died from that road (or another one) because car accidents are very common

*phew* *end of rant* 😀

oh wait one more thing… no popular opinion from haters is going to stop me from collecting and playing every VB thing I can… only money/availability/VB malfunctions could stop me 😉

I got my Dreamcast in the mail!

I have no game to test on it, so I’m unaware if it works or not, I know its a bit dirtier than it was described or pictured… the controllers are even dirtier (I didn’t test the two VMU’s to see if their batteries died yet though) it seems the dirt or whatever it is, is kinda like something sticky tan/brown (not spilled on it) dried on it (and its even in the creases of the controllers and the letters of “POWER” and “OPEN”)… I hope this is just dirt/chocolate/food and not something more disgusting 😯

I knew I should have just got a Dreamcast at the retro game store thats close to me but my friend was all “no, ebay has a better choice of Dreamcasts” yes but Play N Trade cleans their consoles 😛

Hello fellow new Virtual Boy freak! 😀

I am also a female Nintendo fanatic who loves the Virtual Boy (of course) too

I have not played Nester’s Funky Pinball yet as I do not own a copy so I have NO score 😛

Anyways, have fun on this forum!

Happy 69th birth day….RIP…im glad I got to play my vb today and my game boy. 🙁

I’m sorry to say his birthday was actually on September 10th… its good you played your VB and Gameboy in memory of him though 😀

Its finally (what would have been) Yokoi’s 69th birthday today! 😀

Exactly one week before the 10th, I found my Virtual Boy cold and alone. Is that a sign? 😉

you just found it cold and alone? or did you find it at a store? 😛

Also, there’s a freeware homebrew game for DC that you can download and burn called dRxLaX

I want to avoid CD-R games since I hear it burns out the laser causing it to slowly die 🙁

Mostly, I would just borrow all your friend’s games and buy the one(s) you like 😉

I can’t… she is an internet friend from the UK and I’m in the US 🙁

RunnerPack wrote:
PS: I don’t think you should refer to your friend as “dreamcastic”… It’s used as a derogatory term referring to the graphics on the DC.

Oops… I just meant they really like the Dreamcast

(so that one time I said “thats Dreamcastic!” when she bought De La Jet Set Radio (special edition of the Japanese version) it was an actually an unintended insult? 😯 )

they seemed to have not taken it as an insult… so either they don’t know it is an insult or knew I wasn’t meaning it in the bad way… or were being sarcastic when said they thought “Dreamcastic” was a fitting word for Dreamcast things 😉

EDIT:

If I was married, you’d never see me here

thats really sad… now why would that be?

*goes off on a rant on how I’d never marry someone who doesn’t like the Virtual Boy… or video games*

Please don’t, its a very awesome project 🙁

Its not a complete teardown… they didn’t take apart the controller! 😉

also, TIME and PC World probably just said those things since a lot of their readers are most likely anti-Virtual Boy 😛

I believe they are legit, I think I remember some people mentioning they bought stuff from there actually

anyways welcome to the forums!

have much Virtual Boy related fun here (and on your Virtual Boy)! 😀
