Virtual Boy...something about it makes me want to get one

[AIDS]

Many people think the Virtual Boy was doomed from the start. I remember when it came out, and I played on one at a Best Buy. I thought it was incredible, and also I had a headache from all the red. It's ok if you think the Virtual Boy sucked, but there were some pretty cool games released for it. I think the first Warioland game was released on Virtual Boy. But here's the sad part...around the time when the Virtual Boy was dying, alot of games that were in progress got canceled. One of these games is a game commonly known as VB Mario Land. It was kind of like a direct sequel to Super Mario Bros. (no I don't mean the Lost Levels). The reason why I say this is because at the end of each level there was a castle and a flag pole...just like in SMB! And since the game was in "3-D", Nintendo took advantage of this and made all the levels 2 layers (a foreground and a background). The cool thing was, you could go from the foreground of the level and background of the level by using pipes and special bridges. It's really too bad that this game got scrapped, it had alot of interesting things going for it. I hope Nintendo hasn't totally forgoten about it and maybe they should work on using the ideas they used in VB Mario Land for a future Mario game for the GBA or soemthing.

I had that for a while, still at my parent house, (i live on my own, alot of things lost in the move) It was cool, i reamaber lossing hours just playing it straight through. My only beef was the color, and how the batterie pack was attached the controller (if you haven't noticed that the controler design was almost the closest to the GC controler) Either way, this will travel the way of the Vetrex and CaliecoVision,. Good Ideas, poor execution.

Welp that me, I'm off to find a set of emulators to get my old skool fix,2D FOREVER!!!!!!!!......Rogue

But you don't get the 3D effect. You need the hardware for that.

yeah so you can throw up wearing some overgrown red and black goggles straight out of Scott Summers circa 1964 closet.

Still more fun than throwing up from drinking too much.
