I thought of making a display shelf thing for my VB cartridges… imagine a flat piece of plywood-ish wood, with strips of wood on it sort of, making it a grid (red of course and the big plate being black) I’d make the squares be big enough to hold one VB game and basically so I could have all carts there. But I need to get the wood, not sure how to make the strips, I’m not a carpenter and I’m sure the wood would break and get uneven and stuff. Plus I’d have to lean the thing against the wall or something, if it’s perfectly flat on a wall I’m sure the games would fall out.
So it’s a good idea with problems and with a high probability of never seeing the light of day. A normal thing when it comes to me.

If you look at the second photo at the very bottom, you can definitely see バー, and it looks like the next character that is being cut off is チ. Thus, this could be part of “Virtual Boy,” in which case the book would actually contain some amount of Virtual Boy coverage, and the auction’s description isn’t just the seller’s attempt to draw VB fans to the auction.
Good eye, I didn’t even notice that.
I didn’t think the seller was pulling one on us, I just didn’t see anything about the virtual boy on the front and back covers. I would expect the book to contain stuff about the Virtual Boy, it’s just not very obvious from the choice of where they put it. Since the book is from 1997, maybe they didn’t want it so prominent since it was pretty soon after the VB’s failure in the market.
I could be wrong since I’m no Japanese expert by any means. I think Virtual Boy is usually written in katakana since the origin of the words are English. I don’t see baachurubooi, but I do see “geemubooi”(gameboy), and “ten birion” (ten billion?). I don’t see it mentioned in the smaller writing either. But I do see game & watch mentioned on the back, so my guess it’s to do with what he’s created. That shouild mean the Virtual Boy is mentioned in there, maybe it just didn’t make the cover..

Sellers usually aren’t impossible to reason with in my experince. Even though it says shipping to the US only, it’s very possible they’re willing to ship to Canada. Usually they just want to avoid non-english speakers when limiting the area they’re willing to ship.

Love your display (as well as the other ones here). Your laugh in the beginning of the video had my dog all sorts of confused. She wouldn’t stop tilting her head at the screen.
Thanks! Hahaha, I was mimicking an old friends laugh that we used to poke fun at.

I hear you there. The problem with getting into multiple consoles is all the games that are out there. The list of games I want seems to never end =P
The problem is he’s asking for something that isn’t legal. If he had asked on any other internet forum the answers would be about the same. Its like code not to ask for ROMs for retail games.
That said the second post could have been a simple “Google it”
