The left LCD is a little screwy at times, so I might open it up and try the oven trick to see if that solves that problem.
Wario Land is definitely the best game in the library, in my opinion. Love it.
That's a pretty good deal! Especially with Mario Clash.

Well, it is Tetris.
I've been thinking about collecting for the Virtual Boy after I finish off my NGPC collection (I think I have 9 games left). I don't nortmally collect games, but there's just something about a console having a small library of games that makes me want to start collecting for it.
I really need to find myself a Virtual Boy, it's the last Nintendo system I have yet to own, and I can never seem to find them. They look like they'd be pretty cool to play every now and again, as long as you have the right game, like Red Alarm or Wario.

Great find , you have a historical and "well loved flop", be proud
glad to see there are fans of the VB on the board. i too have one, but it doesn't have that rubber eyepiece thing which i'm still trying to find. played wario land and galactic pinball a fair amount. will prob. play mario clash next, and want to get jack bros. next but it costs a lot, esp. the US version. any comments on that game?

Jack Bros is the only us release besides waterworld that I didnt get to play. I have seen complete copies of that game go for a lot, so be patient.

Strange, I got waterworld years ago and I don't remember it going for as much then as it did now, pretty sure I picked up mine sealed in the box for under $20.
It's a pretty horrendous game, it's usually the first one everyone wants to play, and also the one they turn off the soonest.
I recently gave Red Dragon a go with several VB games and when played in Greyscale I can play without getting a headache. With that, Mario Clash is still my favorite. Shame it is only singe player.
