I remember drooling over reports on the VR32 back in 1995 (I would have been 12) and knowing that one day I’d own that as well as the coming Ultra 64…well a year or so later and I had the latter, and had completely forgotten the Virtual Boy which had sunk without a trace, and had never been released here in the UK.
A few years ago I got back into retro gaming and have a growing collection of old consoles, from the Colecovision through to the N64 and the PS3 and XBox 360…and just yesterday ordered a CIB unopened Japanese Virtual Boy.
It couldn’t come fast enough, I’m super excited, and have already emailed Richard about a FlashBoy Plus as well 🙂
Welcome the the interesting world of playing and collecting stuff for the Virtual Boy. Hopefully soon we will see the headstrap released which will increase Virtual Boy usability.
