I love the virtual boy it was a great system and I refuse to hear any words to the contrary!



well no... but Teleroboxer was great, and there were a few other good games as well.

I remember actually wanting one. Until I played one somebody else had.

Its one of the few modern systems I've never actually played. I've touched one, and felt its controller, but it was a non working unit. So in my lifetime of gaming, the only systems I've never played once are... The Virtual Boy, TurboGrafx-16, The Jaguar, and the CD-i. I don't count systems from before I was 8, but as I grew up, those are the only 4 I haven't played in any capacity.

I think the CD-I is the only one that I havent of htat list... maybe the Jaguar... I think I played that at some party place once.

Yeah, like the Neo-Geo, I never owned one, but a mom & pop game store that used to be open here had one you could play. I actually owned a Saturn, and had a friend with Sega CDX, which was a glorified Walkman that played Genesis and Sega CD games... Now thats a forgotten system...



This thing was FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS in 1994 haha.

My virtual boy that I got for Christmas in 1995 is now with my large collection of games and proudly on display.

Remembering trying it out in Blockbuster. Played Mario Tennis and had trouble seeing it due to my vision/glasses.
