I remember when Meijers was selling these for 14 or 15 dollars a piece. Too bad I didnt pick one up then. I bought one recently, but havent played it much. Its fun to have, but not necessarily to play.

If I play mine for more than 20-30 minutes, then when I stand up from it, I feel sorta dizzy and confused. But, this happens with any handheld (they take longer to have the effect) and if I'm reading, it happens too.

Wario Land is a great game if you liked the mario lands on gameboy. Mario Clash is like an updated 3D version of the original Mario Bros.

I think the main reason some people complain of headaches from use is either because they aren't using it in a comfortable position or they aren't taking recommended breaks during gaming.

And it's Wario Land, not Wario World. :)

Wario land is the only game I played for it back at TRU a long time ago. It was fun.,

Don't believe the hype on the headache thing. It tends to affect people who are more senitive to motion sickness. I'm not one of those people and have had no problem. Even though a lot of the games can be fun, none of them are really anything you will be playing all day long.

This thing does hurt my eyes after a while and I have no problems with motion or anything like that. I have wario land and teleroboxer for it and they're nothing to write home about, but are fun to play. I haven't played it pretty much since I bought (and the fact there is a huge wall of snes boxes blocking it). It kind of has a funny smell to it, I guess cause it was sitting in a pawn shop for a long time. If you can get it for under 30 bucks and you really want it, then go for it.

Yeah, I think the whole dizzyness/headache thing is over-exaggerated. I don't know of anyone that have ever gone blind by it either. I'm *very* sensitive to motion sickness....I almost puked the last time I played Final Doom for PSX because I got so dizzy. Never had a problem with the VB though.

If you can afford it, I highly recommend the Space Invaders Virtual Collection. It's the best version of SI I've ever played. The 3D effect on it is awesome. Way better than the arcade versions too.

Another must-have for the VB is Galactic Pinball. Best video pinball game ever! Seriously.
