    probably is worth nothing, but that person can sell it to me ;)
     
  6. I'm interested, as I stated before.

    Due to the nature of the Japanese language and translation, "Insumousu" should actually be "Innsmouth." If any of you are familiar with the works of H.P. Lovecraft then that name would be familiar to you (hence my interest in the title). Not to discourage any of you intentionally, but the game was not all that spectacular - a rather uninspired FPS-style maze game where you proceeded down identical corridors and fought sprite monsters that popped up. Anyone who was ever bored in a math class and played 'Doom' or similar games on their graphing calculators will know exactly what I mean.

    Well, the Japanese game is fairly rare, but not worth a lot (one on ebay atm for $30 - granted it has 5 days left). Some of the rarer Virtual Boy games, though are several hundred dollars.

    Say someone found that rare unreleased US version.. they wouldn't have found any others, would they? (take a look here)

    What kind of Dev stuff would that be? I am definitely interested. Any other cool stuff on the Eeproms?
     
  11. Hi! Can you email me at virtualboy@chello.nl with pics or more info on the VB EPROMS and development items? I am looking to buy those, thanks a lot :)

    You need to give credit when you nab pics like that. I just got a complaint from the site owner.

    Hoops! Yeah soz!

    Indeed I personally don't agree with image hotlinking to another person's bandwidth, must've just slipped my mind.

    I'd like to say though, that www.virtual-boy.org is indeed a fabbo site, so why not check it out?

    Oh, and maybe they might be coming over when anonymous decides to sell said EPROMS etc! :smt023
     
  14. Wonderful, more non-members with lots of money...

    Hey, they have to pay premiums for that, so don't gripe too much, they may stay.
     
  16. Then that would make them regulars with lots of money - even better for me! :smt043

    How many EPROMs were there? The dev carts only ever held two, so unless those are all different variations, you have 3 copies there.

    Are you planning on splitting them up?


    ...And IMO uncovered EPROM windows and light sources are not a suggested combination. ;-)

    Absolute sun light x 1 month = possibly a light erase on an EPROM. Thats not possible in this weather we're having. People worry about that too much.

    Assembler, make the Buy It Now price $1,500, and have the reserve at $1,450. You're bound to get that amount of money, if not ask for $2k. :smt033
