finally ended my pain...USA virtual boy collection finished.

[Kamino]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8140030803
At long last, i have purchased jack bros.
It look some thinking, but $55 was quite near my max on the last few, and i have tired of waiting.
As soon as that cart arrives, i will have reached my goal; the entire USA virtual boy collection, all fourteen games. It's quite a relief to be done.
Although some day i'd like to print a new label for my mario clash or just get a better one....as of now, i can rest easy.

[hydr0x]

congratulations :)

i assume it's a cart only collection, right?

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Kick. Ass. But why you chose to complete the set of such a crappy system is beyond me. Oh well, just my opinion.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Congratulations, but i think it will be great if you post some pic/s from your collection...i like to see them.

[racecar]

congratulation !!!!!!!!

[Sniderman]

Kick. Ass. But why you chose to complete the set of such a crappy system is beyond me. Oh well, just my opinion. Indeed it is your opinion, for - in my opinion - the VB rocks. Now, if he was trying to finish up a Game.com collection, then I'd be right there with ya.

OK, KK, now you gotta start on the overseas releases. The prices for some of those (Gundam, Insmouse House, Space Squash) will make you PINE for the days of $55 carts. LOL

[Jive3D]

AWESOME! The Virtual Boy is one of my favorite systems.

Honestly though, I dont think that a VB collection can be complete without the Blockbuster Video custom VB suitcase, Get your eBay on, again!

[Cauterize]

wow kamino, im happy for you.... ive heard u talk about jack bros to me for the last few months... glad you finally got it!

as for me, i have about 4 vb games now LOL (but 3 of those are currently travelling over the sea to me :P )

[Sotenga]

Kamino, my good man... this one's for you.

LOL LOL LOL

In all seriousness, that's awesome. Glad you finally got Jack Bros, man! You also remind me that I should get some more VB games... :)

[postulio]

ok, no offense, but why is everyone sucking his #@%!. its 14 games for gods sake. relax. the entire VB collection can be completed in 1 day.

[Fuyukaze]

Congrats. Myself, I wasnt impresed with the VB enough to get it when it was new, but for a colector, its a system thats less dificult to colect for. Maybe not as cheap as some, but definitly cheaper then others.

[Sniderman]

ok, no offense, but why is everyone sucking his #@%!. its 14 games for gods sake. relax. the entire VB collection can be completed in 1 day.OK, no offense, but when are you going to have that rather large stick removed from your ass? Let the man have his victories. No need to wander in here, piss on the thread, and wander back out.

Criminy, what a killjoy. :roll:

[Flack]

ok, no offense, but why is everyone sucking his #@%!. its 14 games for gods sake. relax. the entire VB collection can be completed in 1 day.

Because we're gamers supporting gamers.

I guess everytime someone makes a post about something they bought we could talk about the amount of time they had to work for that money plus the amount of time spent searching for that item, which is really a double whammy as both of those time periods are time wasted in the big picture of things, minutes and hours that you will never get back and, in reality, measurements of how much closer to death you really are.

I think I'll stick with the congrats, myself.

[Flack]

Hey KK, I forgot to mention ... I picked up a complete Virtual Boy with three games today for $25. Not sure if that's a good deal or not but, you know the drill, didn't have one so ...

[Kamino]

Lol..yeah, i thought about the over seas releases, then i saw the not so awesome prices :\ i think i'm done. Although i WOULD like one of those blockbuster hard cases one day.....for now i can rest easy.

congratulations :)

i assume it's a cart only collection, right?
Yes, I collect everything cart/disc only. I never liked boxes or manuals, so i leave those for people who do - someone's gotta take the loose ones!

But yeah, this one's been bothering me for months. Back in June i decided i'd finish the collection, I think i had seven games at that point. Aside from this final expensive one, the MOST i paid was $15 each, for 3d tetris, waterworld, and wario land.....the rest were $6-10 each, so it was not really a costly collection to finish. I find the system quite enjoyable personally ,which is WHY i finished it.
Here's hoping the Jack Bros cart arrives...my first r7 cart, yay.

[Jasoco]

I wish I could have had more time with a Virtual Boy. My only experience with it was in 1995 at TRU playing that stupid demo of whatever it was. I couldn't figure out how to control the ship. Wish they could have had a better game to show off.

Congraturation! LOL

[Daria]

Ok, no offense, but why are you such an asshole?

(:

Congrats Kamino, I know some of those games can be pretty expensive, sounds like you've gotten some pretty good deals. So are you going to have a VB marathon when Jack Bros. arrives?

[Cauterize]

ok, no offense, but why is everyone sucking his #@%!. its 14 games for gods sake. relax. the entire VB collection can be completed in 1 day.

i smell a damn lot of jelousy coming from you... and if thats your attitude around here then you dont really belong here...

i think youll find the amount of people who want a complete Virtual Boy Collection is the majority of the users on here!

...dear me

[GrayFox]

Yay for teh Komino!

Congrats on the completed collection man, I knew you'd finally spring for that Jack Bros. :D

[Ed Oscuro]

My only question is - it was painful? The payoff being..?

It has the advantage of being the compact complete collection. Yet the excitement must remain, or there will be only...dust, and ashes.

I would very much like many of the Japanese rarities - they seem to be decent titles overall.

[NintendoMan]

Sweet!

[EricRyan34]

Good job mang

[izret101]

Congrats. I have seen 1 virtual boy in real life and it had 6games asking price was $75 bucks too bad i didnt have the money on my i would have picked it up. It was also in a black plastic case that said Virtual Boy on it in red lettering if this is the BB case eveyone is talking about.


Yes, I collect everything cart/disc only. I never liked boxes or manuals, so i leave those for people who do - someone's gotta take the loose ones!
I will gladly take almost any manuals and boxes you would not want :-P :D

[YoshiM]

Congrats! A completed collection is a completed collection and even with a small library it's not always such an easy task (unless you wanted to plop down a lot of cash).

[Ed Oscuro]

Good job mang
MANG STRIKES AGAIN!

Sorry, there's a bit of a history with that word and I laugh every time I see it :)

[Kamino]

Hey KK, I forgot to mention ... I picked up a complete Virtual Boy with three games today for $25. Not sure if that's a good deal or not but, you know the drill, didn't have one so ...
that's a pretty good deal. depending on the games that came with it, it may be an even better deal.......(3d tetris, waterworld and jack bros being the primo scores of the collection; mario tennis, virtual league baseball, and i'd say a tie between teleroboxer, golf and panic bomber being the cheapest of the collection....everything else is pretty much an eight way tie in my budget book.)

Daria; You bet i'll be having a VB marathon. ordinarily that'd probably give me a sore back, but thanks to this contraption i'll be fine:

::Looks at avatar...looks at pic::

Dude, don't you ever take the cans off? LOL

[Duncan]

First of all, congrats to Kamino. Nice score -- I have not even touched a Virtual Boy since they were new, so I commend your persistence and dedication.

Now, on to this:


ok, no offense, but why is everyone sucking his #@%!. its 14 games for gods sake. relax. the entire VB collection can be completed in 1 day.

Yeah, but you can do it for PSone too if you've got thousands of dollars and nothing to do for 24 hours. What's your point? :hmm:

His celebration is in order because he completed the entire collection for a given system, which is interesting and cool.

Remind me to shove this same sort of attitude back in your face the next time you announce something, would you?

[tritium]

Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy your system =)

[davidleeroth]

Congrats! You're the true master of 3D! May your world be black and red and full of headsets. :)

cans?
Oh, you mean the headphones?
ahaha. If so, the answer to your question is: no.

[Iron Draggon]

HEHE There you go, trying to put him back in pain again already, whispering your subliminal messages to him about how he needs to start working on a complete VB import collection now! There is no rest for the weary collector!

I just want one of those import Space Invaders games myself, but DAMN I don't wanna have to pay $300+ for it! I bet I end up doing it though. :eek 2:

Well, congrats on the accomplishment. I know that Jack Bros is a challenge.

[Porkchop]

Congrats!!

You got me to thinking about completing my VB collection. I already have Jack Bros. ($4.95 in the wild). 5 more to go. :hmm:

[Raedon]

8-)

[DigitalSpace]

Kamino, congrats! :D Next time you play your VB, rock out to Zeppelin for me. 8-)

[leonk]

8-)

congrats! I assume that pic and your avatar were taken at the same time (same headphones, same sweatshirt).

I remember renting the system from block buster when it came out. It was cool (if it didn't give me the migrain everytime I played it). LOL

So what's your next goal?

i cant wait til you decide to post about something your happy about finding, and everyone pounces on you about how dumb it is.
seriously, hes happy he completed it, so don't put him down for it, wheres your complete US VB collection????

good job kamino!

Same here. I've no idea how Insmouse Mansion (Insane Mouse Mansion, right?) plays, though SOME say it's god awful, ditto for SD Gundam Hyper Dimension War (off the top of my head...I think that's the correct title @_@).

Those, and both shooters from the folks at T&E (Vertical Force being the other, I think). Poor T&E. They never got hooked on the right hardware, did they? LOL

[leorange]

congrats...jack bros is my last piece of my american vb puzzle...not counting the wario land demo cart, if we want to go that far. i ended up getting most of the u.s. collection (and japanese jack bros. and the blockbuster case!) in one fell swoop at a video game place in downtown los angeles years ago.

as for the japanese games...let's just say if i knew then what i know now, i would have picked up a few more of these brand new titles from united game source when i had the chance...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/orangest/vbprices.jpg

virtual lab, virtual bowling and gundam will probably always be very much out of my reach...but that's why we hunt, i guess...

[CRV]

Those, and both shooters from the folks at T&E (Vertical Force being the other, I think). Poor T&E. They never got hooked on the right hardware, did they? LOL

Well, they did okay with the MSX, I guess. BTW, T&E did Golf, but Hudson Soft did Vertical Force.

(I feel like I correct people too much. Sorry if I come off as a pain in the butt.)

[MetroidFan1164]

Congratulations!!!
