Original Post

I’d like to introduce myself, too. I’m Chris (Virtual Chris). I remember seeing the Virtual Boy in the stores and asking my dad for one (I was about 12) and he kept telling me no. Well, I got an N64 the next year, but I was always wondering about what the Virtual Boy was, how it worked, etc. Fast forward to last Thursday, when I saw one in the used video game store. I immediately thought “Me wantee!” but didn’t have the money. So, I went home, got the money, and today just came home with it and 5 games (Mario Clash, Mario Tennis, Red Alarm, Wario Land and Galactic Pinball.) Well, anyway, that’s my story (at least so far…)

Welcome to the Party Chris! (Hey that’s my name too!)

I’ve been doing quite a bit of collecting lately myself, and have to say you certainly got the right games to really show what the system was capable of.

Welcome again, and have to say that the group here is a really cool and dedicated group… I’m glad to have met them all.

Chris-party! another one here. 😉

welcome!

Well, this is freaky, as my actual first name is also Chris. (Hopefully, this one also gets his hands on some obscure VB prototypes, the main one of which you all probably know already.)

Welcome aboard, then. It’s pretty nice here, even for people that don’t quite have VBs yet(me).

How are you supposed to play Dragon Hopper if you don’t have a VB!

Hi Virtual Chris nice to see another face in the VB community. Hope you have fun with your system and this site!

Red Dragon, perhaps? (That, or I’ll get Nintendo to remake the game for the Wii or DS, unlikely as that is.)

Then again, it seems that VB emulators aren’t exactly on par with emulators for other, more popular platforms when it comes to accuracy(some games have glitched graphics, for instance).

I still have plenty of opportunities to get a VB(which I can’t exactly say about DH, unfortunately), so don’t worry. It’s all a matter of when I have the money.
