Waterworld the Game is remarkably similar to
Waterworld the Movie. Dumb! The game is expensive just
because it's rare, not because it's good. I can't get too
worked up over working my way through ten levels of
so-so challenge. You can find loose cartridges more
easily than boxed games as Ocean was still manufacturing
them when Nintendo killed the VB. A bunch of the carts
seem to have made their way into remainder
houses.<br><br>Watched a DVD of Silverado last night. Kevin Costner is a
lot more fun when he's acting than when he's
directing.<br><br>Chas

One of my ystems is like this too, this is due to
the dead pixels on the screen, will the power adaptor
solve the problem? No. Can this be fixed? Maybe,
through Nintendo, but I think you'll be better off
getting another one from eBay, it'll be less hassle and
cost about the same. From my experience, the dead
pixel (lines) are from huge impact (I dropped this on
the floor once). I may not be right on tis, so get
more 2nd opinion.

My Virtual Boy has taken up a new habit of
displaying horizontal lines all across the screens. I've
tried new batteries, but everything stays the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would the power
adapter stop this maybe??

My 8 year old recently broke one of the legs on my VB.  I wonder if anyone has
an extra set that they would be interested in selling.  Please let me know.

Hi there! I do own Waterworld, and I am also one
of those who also liked the film. Regarding the
Virtual Boy game, the objective is fairly simple: (LEVEL
1) You are presented in the middle of nowhere in
your boat, and there are 10 atoloners (I think) in the
water. You have to kill all the smokers which appear
trying to take away the atoloners, and you have to
protect Elona. When you kill all the smokers, there's a
counter which checks how many atoloners you have saved
and if you saved Elona (multiplier up if you did so),
and gives you points. (LEVEL 2) The same as level 1
but a bit harder. (LEVEL 3) The same as level 2 but a
bit harder. (LEVEL 4) The same as level 3 but a bit
harder... etc.<br><br>I personally like the game, but I
admit it's VERY repetitive. Also, it is generally
considered as one of the worst games for the Virtual Boy
ever made. I like the game, but as you know, colours
were made for tastes, and that's my opinion. The rare
thing is that it is one of the hardest U.S. games to
find mint for the Virtual Boy, and that's the reason
why it's more expensive than the others.<br><br>Hope
I was of help.<br><br>Dani.

i dont know if any of you know this but the game
waterworld was based on a movie calles (of corse)
waterworld. I just saw thismovie and i thought it was great.
it has a thin story line (which is why it failed so
bad in theaters, even though it had a HUGE budget.)
but over all was entertaining. I dont own the game
waterworld, i was wondering if any of you do, and if so, how
good is it?

I have my list of games saved online at
www.gamerland.com. My username on that site is savedman. I am
getting close to 1000. My Virtual Boy list is kind of
small though. I'll have to work on that. For all you
classic gamers check out www.digitpress.com. They are
getting ready to put out their latest edition of thier
classic video game price guide.

There you will find LOADS of information
regarding the Virtual Boy. It's the best Virtual Boy page
in internet, IMO. Since the link doesn't appear in
the links sections, I've decided to post a message
with it. Hope there's no problem :)

You will probably have to check ebay for the SD
Gundam. It's one of the rarest games, as Vincewy said,
but I have to correct him, the game is not going for
over $500 at the moment there, it is going for OVER
$1200!!!!

Hi, welcome to the club, yes, the pic on the main
page is SD Gundam 3D Space Dimentional War, it's the
second rarest game on Virtual Boy, on eBay, it normally
goes over $500 for this games.<br><br>If you're
looking for Virtual Boy and don't want to go through
eBay, go to the links section of the club (on the left
hand corner), the vendor's links are the last 30 URLs
I believe.<br><br>Vince

Does anyone know how to rig some sort of head gear for the Virtual Boy?  I'm
pretty sure one was never sold, But I've heard of people making them.  If you
have a good one, I might buy it from you.

Jeff, you need the adaptor tap attached first,
instead of the battery pack, then the adaptor tap has a
opening where you can put in SNES adaptor. As far as
racing game goes, well, it almost did, due to VB's short
life span, Nintendo ditched a lot of games developed,
you can find ut at George's VB

HI Jeff, welcome to the club, if you're looking
for info on Virtual Boy, go to the links section of
the club, there're 50 sites for Virtual Boy
(eventhough some may not work), so you'll have some brief
ideas about each game. The last 30 links are stores
carrying the games and system.<br><br>I have 19 games in
my collection (4 games I don't have are ridiculously
expensive to get due to rarity), I highly recommend the
following:<br><br>Wario Land<br>Jack Brother (not super rare, you can
still get it for less than $75 on eBay)<br>3D Tetris
<br>Nester's Funky Bowling<br>Space Squash (Multimedia 1 has
it for $159 loose)<br>Galatic Pinball<br><br>Vince

Before I try this, was wondering if anyone else
had tried anything like it. I've just recently
purchased a couple of these (had one when they came out,
but sold it shortly after Nintendo called it dead). I
was trying to think of a way to eliminate the
"hunchback of notredame" syndrom from playing. I came up
with an idea... Have an old recliner out in the garage
that I'm going to mount one of those extension
brackets to. You know, the kind like they mount the
magnifying bench lights to, that let you move the light all
around in any position. Fix a mount in the top of the VB
to attach to it. Then you can move it all around,
push it up out of the way, etc... and when playing
just lay back, relax, swing it down into place on your
face and enjoy yourself. Any ideas or other
suggestions?<br><br>Thanks...

I have alot of the following 3 Virtual Boy Games
: Kemco Baseball, VTetris, & Mario Tennis. These
are all Japanese game versions, but they work 100% on
US Vitual Boys. All Game come with orginal boxes,
manuals, and are in mint condition (never opened). These
games are brand new, never played. Cost for Virtual Boy
Museum Members is $12.00. Shipping is FREE for this 3
game set. If you choose to purchase games separately,
the cost is $4.00 each + 3.20 shipping. I will only
pay for shipping if you purchase a set. Either place
a bid on the ebay ad I have, or contact me to place
an order.
