    Does anyone have some cool Virtual Boy oddities? Or just memorabilia in general?

    I have the Blockbuster Hard Case
    Soft Case [and box, wrapping, mint]
    2 Virtual Boys
    And lots of games, nothing to rare though.


    Like to know if anyone has some cool things because the virtual boy was a short lived system, and things can get quite rare for it.


    Edit: Pictures would be nice too!

    You'll find a couple of VB collectors here. I believe some among us have dev kits and some kind of prototype, too.

    Isn't there a multicart for the Virtual Boy you can upload games to? I would love to get one and try fiddling with the Virtual Boy homebrew stuff.

    Yea what do you mean "can't disclose", well, I know what you mean, but what kinds of things. Things we haven't even heard of?

    I have a new Jp Virtual Boy with 'AC Adaptor Tap', and a few games. I'm still after the official eye shade and earphones, then my life will be complete :xmas:

    I own the goggles from the VB show at Spaceworld '94.

    Not so rare, but I also have a new VB trump set and the Virtual Boy Tsuushin magazine.
    Plus all Japanese games and the usual hardware stuff.

    Hi xyus,

    sure thing I own SD Gundam. Although I haven't played through it completely. Gameplay repeats itself too much in my opinion.

    Virtual boy looks like a cheap toy, not a video game system. I could definitely see a mother who doesn't know a thing about video games tossing it out.

    Ouch! That sucks! Like a friend of mine who onced owned a Saturn and when I asked him recently if he still has in to sell it or give it to me and he said he threw it 2 years ago. DAAAAAAAAMN! At least, he could give it to his little cousin.
