    Dang I remember my "VB" I had fun playing it everyday. I owned the wario game and the tennis game. I never stopped playing best part about it you can run on battery which was kinda cool. My parents would always take it away cus i got stuck playing. Would you happen to know where I can purchase another?

    That thing hurt your eyes in a hurry. Could not have been good for the vision...

    They had a few sports games. I think I had golf and baseball.

    I sold my Virtual Boy on ebay about 2-3 years ago.

    I was young maybe now it would hurt my eyes back then i could toast, bake, fry, or look into sunlight without a care in life.

    You're actually missing quite a few good games in there. 3D tetris is, understandably, the best 3D tetris out there. And Wario Land is fun to play. But the best game for the system, and arguably one of the best games that year, was Teleroboxer. A spiritual sequal to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Teleroboxer was probably the last great 2D console boxing game. It is definitely worth picking up where you can.

    Speaking of Nausea, does anyone else remember those backgrounds in Wario Land which independently scrolled on the horizontal axis, but not on the vertical one? I miss that little easy-bake nausea maker.
