Hi all! How's everyone been? It's been a while since I've gotten on the forum and I wanted to post about an experience I had recently. So I was walking around my lovely College campus, when I saw that some people have set up a table in front of the library. They were having a garage sale or something and I didn't even notice what else was there cause I saw THE RED AND BLACK BEAST! Lo and behold, these people had a Virtual Boy for sale. Visibly shaking, I asked how much it was and what it came with, it was $30 and included Mario Tennis, Tetroboxer, and Wario Land, along with the A/C Adapter. So I also immediately gave them the money and ran off with the box full of loot. So the majority of people I hear talk about the Virtual Boy say they hated the darn thing and that it was a travesty. It causes headaches, it's RED, it has terrible games! Well I have played with it a bit and I expected I was going to despise this thing, but I was surprised. I actually found the 3D effect to be pretty cool! I have played it for hours and I have yet to have a headache as a result of this game machine and the games are pretty cool. So far I'm actually having a good time playing it. :) So if you look past it's flaws, it's not half bad and I'm glad I bought it. :) So how does everyone feel about the Virtual boy cause I know there's plenty of reasons people hated the thing? |

I loved that thing when I was little (we borrowed it more times than I could count from our local Blockbuster). I never got headaches, and I didn't mind the red at all. If anything, the tripod was at the worst height ever - you had to do a lot of weird rigging and stacking of various things to get it at a height where you wouldn't be hunched over and dying of neck pain. |

Oh yeah. That's one issue I have it with it. I have to have a table to okay it. I tried playing it on the floor and it was uncomfy. |

That is definitely the issue with that thing for me is the comfortability. I have heard of a strap that allows you to wear it but I havent seen one. Nice score anyhow. Btw, have you seen this? http://www.retrocollect.com/News/street-fighter-ii-hyper-fighting-unofficially-hits-the-virtual-boy.html |

Oh wow. Playing Street Fighter on the Virtual Boy sounds like it would be awesome! Too bad I'm not Hardcore enough to hunt down a Flashboy, on top of the fact that I'm a broke college kid. Hehe, that's pretty cool though, I like that some people still develop things for the Virtual Boy. :) |
