Do you know what it is?

And a "screenshot":

Used to have a Virtual Boy but gave it to a friend of mine since it would hurt my head after playing it for a not very long amount of time. Cool concept but the execution could have been better, I'd say!

PowerGlove I've never even seen one.
I need a new SNES, mine fell off the table and the casing shattered xD

You should pick up a GameCube before they start to inflate again. I doubt they'll drop much lower than they are now (about $8 xD).

I just won an original GameBoy, too. Never had one of them, so I'm looking forward to getting it.
At the moment though, I'm really focusing mostly on Game and Watches.

That's cool. I've never seen them either, just in pictures, lol. I accept the reality that I will never own them but who knows n_n I get lucky sometimes

I also have Nintendo tattoos and merch. I LOVE video games, and I've never disbanded my loyalty to Nintendo. Which has been hard since they haven't had shit for third party games the last few years, but they still soared by because Nintendo is the shit XD

I've tried other gaming systems...but there was something critically disappointing in each of them to me. Mostly...the discs. I hate disc-games. I cried when I read an article in GI announcing Nintendo would be going to disc with the game cube. T_T I LOVE cartridge games! I have such a hoard between all my systems put together. Mostly atari and super cartridges.

Nintendo is my favourite, but I have a soft spot for Sega, since the GameGear was my first handheld, and the Genesis was my first home console.

Then I wanted an N64, but I was bought a PlayStation instead. *sigh*

[AliceFi]

somehow, i've always loved my gbc more than my gba or ds
those games seemed to have sth.... 'magical' at that time now it just seems all rip-offs of other games

Didn't that think eat the 6-8 batteries it required?

And virtual boys were horrible, though I remember mario tennis quite clearly. (And I think a wario side scroller?)

Yeah, it did xD I had an A/C adaptor for mine

And yeah, they're supposed to be awful for long periods.

[GreenScissors]

that's awesome isn't it really bad for your eyes though?

[Jake2]

Sweeney - Watch AVGN review on the Virtual Boy. It's a hunk of shit. xD

[Brennon]

VIRTUAL BOY! Although ive never got to try one

Because one guy who makes a living off hyperbole says so?
I'm happy with my hunk of shit.

[Jake2]

I've never seen one.

I just saw his review and the way it was reviewed made it look like it was trash.

Want a link?

I've seen it AVGN is comedy, not serious reviewing

It was shitty, though, even for it's time. Now it's collectable, and one of my favourite retro consoles ^^

[Elindoril]

Oh man, I remember that nice piece of equipment, I was lucky enough to have a friend with one so I could play it and kill my eyes with.

I don't care what people say, it's a different approach at gaming, and it was actually quite fun.

[luvsmyncis]

No, but my childhood neighbor had Duck Hunt! I thought he was so bad ass for it.

Then I wanted an N64, but I was bought a PlayStation instead. *sigh*

My family has a SNES, and one of those Nintendo DS.
We never bought a PlayStation because we all hated that you can't play Mario games on it.

[Sweeney]

I have Duck Hunt Can't play it though, because the Zapper only works on CRT TVs, which we don't have anymore.

*6 year old me thinks you're such a bad ass*

Be honest, it's not just 6 year old you

[luvsmyncis]

Be honest, it's not just 6 year old you

So true. I adore you and your Duck Hunt.

[kbbbb]

I read about it on Wikipedia and saw a few on eBay.

It was a cool idea but a bit full on as a time filler on a train...I wouldn't feel I was protecting me and my stuff if my entire vision was obscured.
The 3D looks cool but viewers could suffer the same problems as watching 3D TV and movies, dizziness, blurred vision...I'm totally going to play one, one day, just for the experience

[ShinaDutchAD]

I need to get my hands on a Virtual Boy...

and a new SNES...

I'm saving up money to get one of these bad boys:



My most prized NES possessions right now are my complete copy of Metroid and my gold cart of Legend of Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link. Don't care what you say about Zelda 2. I love the game.

I also own all the sonic games released on the Genesis. Not counting the Sega CD and 32x add-ons :3 *pats her baby*

[Melchoire]

I bet those things give you a helluva head ache.
