The guy who works there is really cool and I was able to get two new systems on the cheap. Got a Dreamcast with two controllers (one of which hasn't even be used), two VMUs, and a rumble pack. This is actually my very first Sega console ever (I was always a Nintendo guy but I've always wanted to get my hands on a Dreamcast): And it turns out he actually ended up having an old Virtual Boy with the original box and everything sitting around in storage. He never expected to be able to sell it because it has a connection problem with the left screen (it actually works perfectly for the first ten minutes or so of gameplay until the left side starts to glitch out). I was able to get this one extremely cheap and I'm hoping once I get the left screen repaired it'll be fully functioning. Having a Virtual Boy collection has always been on my wishlist and I was excited to finally get my hands on one. I also ended up getting two copies of Mario's Tennis and a copy of Wario Land he had sitting around with it as well. Of course now this means I'll have to start collecting Dreamcast and Virtual Boy games. The adventure never ends. --- End quote --- Somehow this Virtual Boy story sounds familiar ;) --- End quote --- Oh, you caught me. Not sure if you got my email earlier today but I'm probably going to give repairing it a shot myself first before I spend all the money shipping it out to you. It seems like I might actually be able to repair it even with my super novice repair skills. I'll keep you updated to let you know how I'm able to make out with it. Just waiting on those game bits I ordered so I can open the thing up... |

speaking of gamebits and virtual boy repairs, been meaning to do one of mine. Has the typical sound but no display problem. I have the bit sitting here for a couple of weeks just havent gotten around to it |
