I know what it feels like to lose magazines to floodwater. Thank you for sharing these, though–and for bumping the thread, too; I wouldn’t have found it otherwise.

Yamauchi’s admission of the Virtual Boy’s lack of titles that truly took advantage of the unique hardware really hits home (1996-01-05 #1, page 46).

VeeBee sounds all right, too. That was once the name of a dev site.

C’mon, people! Chime in.

They could also be used to put existing games on there, but that’s illegal.

Haha. Get off it, man… If someone can accomplish an authentic reproduction of an unreleased game from a dead-on-arrival system… they deserve praise for being a historian–not flack for being a pirate. That issue shouldn’t even come up.

This site is a lot like the Virtual Boy itself: However awesome it may be, the fame it receives is vastly disproportionate.

Those seem pretty rare. I feel your pain.

I’d be somewhat surprised if this were real. A while back there was a fake site about a cat someone was going to eat unless they made $5000 in PayPal donations. I think it was called “Save Toby”.

Anyway, here’s hoping a perfectly good VB doesn’t get destroyed.
