I’m a long time lurker, but first time poster. π
The struggle has been real in trying to obtain a CIB version of all the Virtual Boy games. I’m extremely envious of all of you that have a complete set!!
(I just recently got that ever evasive Blockbuster Mario Tennis Box!! That completes my NA Official release set!)
This last year at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, I happened to stumble across the SD Gundam reproduction. Of course, without hesitation I purchased it! Having this now made me want an NA/English box version of all the remaining Japanese games.
I tried searching around to see if anyone had already done so, but couldn’t find anything… SO I’ve taken it upon myself to do it!
I currently aim to do the following:
– Virtual Fishing [ (!) ]
– Insmouse No Yakata [ (!) ]
– Space Invaders
– Virtual Bowling
– Virtual Lab
– V-Tetris
Unfortunately, I have no means or even knowledge in getting it printed. Last time I went to a print shop to get something printed for another project… they yelled at me for trying to abuse copyright or something… T_T
None the less, I wanted to share these with you guys and join the community! π
Enjoy!
(P.S. : These boxes are based on the Virtual League Baseball box. It was the only extra I had that I was willing to flatten and scan as reference. Hehe.)

Wow, nice job and thanks for sharing the art. I?m sure you put a ton of work into those.
Is Tusk still making these boxes and CIBs?
Thanks Kevin! π
I’m not too sure. I think he might of moved on to greener pastures, but who knows. Hehe.
I was just tired of keeping them hidden and wanted to let them be free. xP
