LMAO I remember when this thing came it had hype for maybe 3 weeks and then all of a sudden the media started turning on it due
to it just being dumb and causing headaches, then before you know it it was 30 bucks slashed price at Toys R Us LMAO

It had a total of 22 released games. There are people out there who collect for it because it's probably the easiest system to get a complete collection for. I remember seeing one about 15 years ago at a Value Village thrift store for $15. I am kicking myself for not buying it lol

The big problem with the Virtual Boy was that everything was black and red. There was a space shooter (the name escapes me) and it's super difficult because the bullets are red, and they blend in so much with the red background, they are sometimes hard to see, therefore makes it easy to lose lives. If they'd just had one more colour lol
