Just scored me a Virtual Boy for $10

[jleemero]

Yup.
$10 Virtual Boy, and in fine condition as far as I'm concerned.
Needless to say I'm quite happy about this find!

I don't, sadly, have even the slightest clue if it works
Does anyone know how I can test one of these without a game?

Also!
Whether this works, or if I have to fix it, I'm gonna wanna play some games!
What would y'all recommend for this thing?



I did actually own one of these ages ago.
I think I owned it for about a day
Don't hardly remember it at all.

there is a flash card for virtual boy. you may want to get that rather than trying to dish out a lo of money for the few games on the system

[jleemero]

Flashcart for VB > $60.
3 Games I might enjoy: < $10 each

Though of course with a Flashcart I could explore the mysterious world of VB Homebrew

[Twilight Wolf]

Wow, maybe I should pick up a flashcart for my VB sometime. The only games I've got for it are two copies of "Mario's Tennis."

[jleemero]

How much you want for that second copy >.>

[XCVG]

I've heard Mario Tennis and Red Alarm are good. Nice find in any case.

[Metallica Man X]

Looks like I'm getting Teleroboxer!

Actually that review was pretty fun to watch, though hardly news at all



I'd still just like to know if this thing actually works or not though

If you thought that review was great, check out his Jaguar review. Mentioned is the user Vomitsaw from Benheck!

The Wario Land looks fantastic for it.

[Twilight Wolf]

Heh, you want to buy it? I'm sure I could arrange that - as it is, it's just sitting in my spare Virtual Boy in a box in the basement, so I'd be glad to get it to someone who could use it. It's cart-only, but if I recall correctly, it's in pretty good shape. How's five bucks shipped?

[Life of Brian]

Considering there were only like 10 games ever made for Virtual Boy I say try and get the whole "library" of games.

I agree - collect them all!

Due to the short lifespan of the system, only 22 games were released. Of them 19 games were released in the Japanese market, while only 14 were released in North America.

Best thing about this find is if you get bored of it (assuming it works of course) you can sell it on e-bay for several times what you paid for it. Good find. I remember a few months back seeing one in a games shop for about £40 but decided not to get it: for $10 you got a really good deal! I heard the Tennis and also Wario are supposed to be the best games on it, however I don't know, never played then even on an emulator.
