Wow thats some serious money for a migraine :blink:
considering how many were made, it's quite a deal. We're looking at around 5-10, sometimes less depending on who your talking to. It's HIGHLY collectible :)

No, it's not. I don't care if it's the only copy ever made, and it's covered in platinum and precious gemstones, anyone who would pay that much for a game is a half-mad, half-insane lunatic. That's ridiculous.

a collector would beg to differ

He can beg all he wants. He'd still be wrong.

I'd say there were a lot more than 5-10 made - they've been coming up on ebay every few months for quite a while. It also wouldn't be worth doing the packaging, etc. for a run of 5 - 10 games. I'd say 50-100 would be more like it...

Still, as you say, it's a good price compared to what they have been listed at. I've seen them with BINs > 1000 quid!

OMG... However there are decent VB Emulators out(at least one that runs games at a nice speed) and the only money-worth games I've found where Mario Clash and Wario Land.

THEY COULD be worth that much money, but sure not virtual lab there, hell no...

show me a review anywhere then that was good or over 3 out of 10 or of equal scaling.

You should never live by reviews, some games that I enjoy were slated by the media, but I'll be damned if some nerd in an office somewhere is going to stop me playing them.

I agree. Reviews should never tell you what to buy or what not to buy. They should merely serve as a guidance.

In any event, to be blunt I really couldnt care less what you think, nor to I need to get a review to prove anything to you. I've played this game at my friend's place and found it to be an excellent game. That's unfortunate if you dont feel the same.

reader reviews can be some of the best around though, they're not going to be biased like Magazine reviewers that get paid to do it. So far i've googled for reviews here's what i've found

This user rated it a 1, http://www.consolecity.com/games.php/actio...gs&game_id=2240

Gamefaqs has 2, a 1 and 2 out of 10, http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/vboy/review/563928.html

Rating from a user stating the graphics are ok, but as for everything else its crap
http://www.epinions.com/content_197756227204

another whopping 1 out of 10, http://www.videogamereviews.vg/virtual_boy..._nazerous.shtml

This is the most positive review i could find and even then it was 35% out of 100 which is horrible http://www.defunctgames.com/reviews/206/

I applaud your winning the auction and i have bought many horrible games for the sake of my collection and i do appreciate your opinion of the game, but more negatives than positives in the main aspect of things makes this a bad game, though not bad to you, just like i love my N-gage, its slated as one of the worst gaming systems of all time, which it is, but to me its not.

ok, but again reviews are based upon personal preference. I liked the game, therefore I bought it
