			actually, Wario Land is very good.

		FLEABttn_vbulletin3_import15977		Oct 4, 2001
			Oh, there's more than twelve. This is the best list I can find: Galactic Pinball Golf Insmouse No Yakata Jack Bros. Mario Clash Mario's Tennis Nester's Funky Bowling Panic Bomber Red Alarm SD Gundam Dimension War Space Invaders Virtual Collection Space Squash Teleroboxer Vertical Force Virtual Fishing Virtual Lab Virtual League Baseball V-Tetris Wario Land Waterworld A whopping 20 games. I have 3: Mario Tennis, Teleroboxer, and Wario Land. They're all descent. (BTW, if you find Insmouse No Yakata for really cheap, i.e. <$100, buy it. It's ungodly rare)

			Lol. I remember going to Toys 'r' us after the virtual boy flopping to find the Virtual boy going fo $15.00. Same with the 32x. Boy, if I knew it was a collector's item, i'd get a few of them :0 Oh, if you want to try to get one, there's this game trading comunnity that you can try to get it on www.gametz.com...

			virtual boy gives me headaches, teleroboxer was pretty cool the little bit i played it before my head started throbbing, though.

			I got mine at KB toys for 29.99 and I got my games at blockbuster for a kickass price of $0.99 each!! Man, that system fell to crap sega style.

			I've tried the VB before at Toys R Us. I was playing this space crap shooting game, didn't pay attention to the name of the game. Like some of you, this thing gave me a big headache as well, not to mention messing with my eyesight. Everything was so green after seeing only neon red light through the visor.

		FLEABttn_vbulletin3_import15977		Oct 8, 2001
			It messes with my vision a little, which is why I take regular breaks, but it has never given me a headaches, or made my vision green.

			teleroboxer is fine .. the only thing that i dont like about virtual boy is the red color .. it hurts the eye .. and everyone knows that red light is very bad for eyes .. I rather paying $50 for a Sega Master System than paying $1 for a virtual boy ..

			Get Red Alarm it is an excellent game, very star foxyish

			I didn't love Red Alarm or Teleroboxer, but Mario Clash and Mario Tennis were pretty fun, mainly because the utilization of the 3D effect in those games didn't seem gimmicky.

			I second Wario World. Good game but it gave me a headache after a while :

About the number of titles, this is what http://www.virtual-boy.net... has to say.

	
	
		
		
			Let me start by saying that the total of USA games = 14, and the total of JPN games = 19, that makes a grand total of 33 games; Second: if you are looking for individual games, there are 22 in total; Finally: the total of only in the USA released games = 3, and the total of only in JPN released games = 8; I say this because there are so many rumors about games that were released, but in limited quantitys, so that its not clear anymore if they are or arent released games. I would almost start talking unreleased games, but this sections goal is to give a good view on the games that were released. PS: there are also 2 existing demos.

I have never had any of the maladies you complain of.

I would say you were playing Red Alarm. Red Alarm and the Wario game were practically everywhere on demo. I miss the vertical slide they had the portable attached to in stores.

			I got my virtural boy for 3 dreamcast games(nba2k1 sonic adventure and nfl 2k) and i got mario tennis and Teleroboxer everyone said i got ripped but i rember when i frist played one i had to have one and about 7 years later i finally got one

		eatpenguin		Mar 25, 2002
			yea you got ripped big time but at least you;re happy and that's all that matters, really.

			Teleroboxer is great, prolly the best for the system, just cause its from a first person view, and it completely utilizes the strange setup of the controller. Warioland is good too, because it has realy detailed animations, and extensive use of the 3d effect. i got mine for $25 at eb when they were liquidating, not a bad system.
