Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I'm surprised to hear you say that, as an owner myself I think they pulled out all the stops to make a selection of launch titles for it that are superb alright, but then that's all we got!
Wario, Tennis, Red Alarm, Tele-Roboxer, Galactic Pinball all great, but V-Tetris and Golf not so much.
No, I actually really enjoyed collecting for the Virtual Boy as it was easy to get every game I wanted for the system and the only expensive game worth owning is Jack Bros, which isn't too expensive anyway especially the Japanese version (totally worth is as well, it's one of the best games on the system).
There's a few other games I'd add. Mario clash is fun if basic, the aforementioned Jack Bros, Veritcal Force is a nice shooter that plays like a PC Engine shooter. Panic Bomber is great but available on other systems.
If you get a flash cart you can also play the unreleased Bound High which is meant to be excellent and the English translated patch of Innsmouth which Jeremy Parish said is excellent. Must get a flash cart for it myself.
I think if you get one for around 150 you'll have a lot of fun with it. There's more exclusives on it I enjoy than on the PS4 anyway :pac:
Anyway check out the video series Jeremy parish did on every game on the system. He only has one more game left to cover, but I think he will cover Bound High as well after he covers the last officially released game:

I had the flash cart for it, Richard Hutchinson made them, but it never really got used so I sold it on.
There is a homebrew demo of Mario Kart out there, for a flavour of what might have been!

I installed the VirtualBoyGo Emulator on the Oculus Go yesterday but it can't seem to find the ROMs. Must get it running, and much better than getting headaches playing the original. :P
The problem with VB is you really need that 3D depth to actually get what it's all about. Maybe if the emulator supports VR headsets then you'd get the same experience.

He’s running it on an Oculus Quest in full 3D I imagine

Actually, WarioLand is pretty poor in that regard. Great game but it could have been done on a Gameboy. Stuff like Mario Tennis, Space Squash and bound high make better use as they don't play the same without the depth perception.

June was probably the worst month of my life, so as a means of therapy I spent about 30 quid on the PS Classic, and way too much on those headphones :pac:
I'm just waiting to get my hands on a USB drive so I can hack the PS.
I'm hoping there's a way to get an analog controller to work on it, with vibration included. I've heard reports that it is possible, I just didn't look into it.0 -

The enemies are like armoured aliens yeah. It's not a boot though, legit capcom board. The eproms have official capcom "sp" stickers, not sure if that's the same for commando (sp=space?) . It also has capcom stickers I've never seen before stuck to the board. I'll put up a picture later for curiosity sake 0

Got a chance to get this going, all good Original everything but the sticker isn't in the best of nick, not bad though. Have to get batteries sorted for these cps2!
If I remember correctly, 20th century Fox contacted Capcom about a new film they were going to make, Alien versus Predator. They handed the script over to Capcom and wanted them to have a game ready for the release of the film.
So Capcom got cracking and finished the game. But Fox shelved the film (we'd later get another version years later, which was "interesting"!)
But its cool to see that the original plot involved Arnie being back as Dutch, set slightly in the future etc. An alternate universe! Or at least I think that's how the story goes.
Anyway, great game, one of capcoms best brawlers, top gameplay (not personally mad about the music), top graphics. Played it a lot in Quirkeys when in first came out

Tested another game at lunch time, capcoms Section Z. Only had a quick go before getting back to the slog, but was worried to hear the sound was all fuzzy and distorted.
Got home and played it there for a good while. Sound somehow fixed itself (who knows how long since the last time it was turned on), so that was a pleasant surprise.
Very good game actually. Simple and nothing mindblowing, came out about the same time as gradius and similar enough to it too. The main catch is that you have to "turn" your character to attack enemies coming from behind, works well. Quite bloody difficult, brings you back to days of replayability. You start off from "section A" and make your way to "Z". Cant get further than "J" so far with 1 one continue.
And the highscore table names are all "current" Capcom games like Vulgus and commando (now in bgollies care!), makaimura is the Japanese name for ghosts n goblins.
Nice, obscure game!
edit: Probably shouldn't have posted this in the "new get" thread, blarrghh0 -

Here are the pictures
Pictures not coming through. Try this website
https://imgbb.com
Upload your pictures, then get the "full html" link,, copy it, click the picture icon on boards.ie and paste the link.
The last thing to do is trim the link so it starts with "http" and finish it where it ends with ". Jpg"
Sounds complicated but it's easy and quick once you get it 0 -

Going for a complete PlayStation PAL collection, still need to get PS2 copies of Origins and Shattered Memories although the latter is around €75.
I picked up the Japanese copies for the hell of it, they were cheap. I didn't know SH3/4 had music CDs with them.
The walkthroughs are the definition of crap I don't need but bought anyway thanks to my annual bonus
