I have no experience with the Virtual Boy when it was current, but, man, when was this....It must've been somewhere between 1998 and 2007..... I know that's a gigantic fucking window, but that's the best I can do.... anyway, my brother bought a Virtual Boy along with a bunch of the games somewhere. My brother had his own "collecting retro games" phase but I don't think he got any of it online, but anyway.... Out of all the games he bought, the only one I liked to any degree was a Pinball one, and it was fun for maybe 20 minutes max at a time. So I would say the Virtual Boy indeed really does suck.
