In your opinion this demo is original ?

Thanks

Yes, and there exist carts of other North American VB titles with that same sticker on them as well.

Someone scored this awesome promo item on ebay a week ago. Was it anyone from here? PM me so I can bribe you with money 🙂

Here’s an update on my VB VidPro card collection!

I now have another Galactic Pinball card, which at first glance appears to be in its final form, but upon close inspection, it’s using the same screenshot of the game seen on the prototype card and is missing the model number above the barcode.

Next up we have a VidPro card for Vertical Force. It appears to be in final form with a model number above the barcode, but it’s using a screenshot of the game that differs from what’s on the back of a North American retail box.

Next we have a POV picture of some guy taking a whiz, oops I mean…Golf, a card for Golf is next 😄. Nothing special here, it’s only missing the model number above the barcode.

Lastly, we have a card for Teleroboxer. This one is pretty interesting because it’s missing the model number above the barcode and is using a screenshot that comes from the Teleroboxer prototype.

That’s all for now, folks. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

That was an awesome idea.

I thought it was too…until I saw my VB’s eyes light up in the middle of the night!

Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to put a VB over Mr. Lovecraft’s resting spot after all.

Anyone wanna desolder my displays for me?

Here, is the grave of H.P. Lovecraft, the author of the book that Insmouse No Yakata was based off of…

I paid my respects and left a box only copy of the game for him

This is Definitely a display unit, most likely the head from a Platform display.

Once again, there’s a release out of numerical order. This time with 15 but no 14. Smh…

I found number 14 today, it’s another Pac-Man 😂

This time it’s a proper full-color screen version, which is what they should’ve released in the first place.

If they release another Pac-Man I swear…

Arcade Classics #15 was released a few weeks ago, it’s Mortal Kombat.

Seems to be a watered version of the Sega Genesis MK, but they removed the blood code.

It seriously looks like somebody just took the two inserts from a Platform Display and made a keychain card out of them.

Can you imagine the confusion consumers had when they read that first step to operate this VB display… “adjust headset height; slide up or down for your eye level”, they must’ve been like WTF?! I wonder if any actually grabbed the head unit and stand then tried raising it up like a tripod? 😀

After pulling out the inserts of my platform display and comparing them more closely with the prints used for the keychain display card, I now notice that a much thicker stock of paper was used when making the two-sided VB display card with keychain. So while it does appear that the display card is two platform display inserts stuck together, each one is on a piece of paper that might be two to three times thicker than the paper used for the platform display inserts. Each platform display insert is rather flimsy, while the keychain card is very sturdy.

I appreciate this info, thanks! 🙂

Geez, with that many you’re sure to win!!

Well… I just finished filling out all the entry forms in my collection, including the two that weren’t attached to the book, along with the form from my Blockbuster’s Virtual Boy brochure for a grand round total of 50 entry forms.

I’m hoping to win one of the 1st place prizes but will happily settle for the VB hat from the 2nd place prizes.

Wish me luck… I’m off to mail these out now!

I wonder if it can be safely concluded that there were 50 originally, in which case only 3 of them had been taken by customers. :-/

It’s hard to see in the picture, but I can definitely tell at least one form was taken, judging by the adhesive they used to bond these together, it’s present on the first form where another one should’ve been attached. So I’ll say a full book either included 48 forms or 50, but can’t say for sure.

Here’s a book of sweepstakes entry forms I purchased a few months ago (just remembered I had it, no joke!). There’s 47 of them in total.

Check out the colorful spine that a stack of these creates. I think it’s pretty cool!
