Congrats! I, too, had a VB once upon a time, though I don't remember enjoying it much. I had Red Alarm, Virtual League Baseball (complete and total garbage, BTW) and Teleroboxer. The 3D effect in Teleroboxer was very impressive, but dammit if I could never get past the second guy! Red Alarm was fun, too, but it was *way* too easy to get turned around in that game. If I were more of a collector, I would have held onto it - I had the original box and everything, too. KB Toys was selling it in a bargain bin for $19.99 way back when, and I couldn't resist. Oddly enough, the bargain bin right next to that one had a stack of Atari Jaguar consoles for the same price. Those were the good old days! That being said, I moved across the country a few years back, and a buddy of mine offered to take the VB off my hands before I left. He'd been pining over it for years, so I didn't mind. I also didn't mind the cash I got for it, too :-D Hold onto the damn thing - they're hard to find in working order! Also, remember never to use it while in motion. Don't play it in a car, or anything like that - it'll mess up the mirrors inside over time. As long as you stick by that, and keep a steady supply of AA batteries (what does it use, 6? 8?) you'll get a lot of mileage out of it. Have fun! |
