Agent Z: To any and all surviving members of NintendoRealm and TheNintendoElement, we have been revived. A new owner with a semi-alive community has purchased and merged us to a new forum. For any interested I leave you this link - www.switchforum.com/ Mar 25, 2018 9:40:01 GMT -8

Frostbyte: Haven't forgotten about this place! Just been working a lot here recently and haven't had much time so it has slipped my mind a bit! Jan 27, 2017 7:12:00 GMT -8

Frostbyte: I'm way behind on gaming. I don't even really keep up with it all that much anymore. I only recently began tinkering with Minecraft again after probably close to 2 years. Jan 7, 2017 11:13:16 GMT -8

VIRTUAL'LY STILL A TEENAGER

19 Years Ago the "NEXT" evolution of gaming--that was supposed to happen--happened...SORT OF.

VIRTUAL BOY, the 3D, virtual reality simulator--call it a console, a handheld, or a headache--it has it's short, sad little run in the mid 90's, in an attempt to target that niche audience and buy Nintendo the time until the ULTRA 64(Nintendo 64) was ready for it's launch, and to collectively compete with SONY's Playstation--which was about to completely obliterate any and all who stood in its way, OR tried to grab anyone else's hard-earned dollars.

Though it only lasted less than a YEAR before it was discontinued, and then slapped with DISCOUNT and TAKE IT PLEASE stickers on Toy Store and Retail shelves--it DOES continue to exist as an insanely VALUABLE Collectors Item--with many of its titles valued at prices that make THIS former owner wish he still HAD his!(crap)

So---WHAT are your thoughts on the Virtual Boy?

Did you own one??
