No Virtual Boy thread? Aww come on guys. Did anyone actually have one of these things when it came out? I didn't purchase one until ~2010 when I learned of it. I think this console (portable?) makes a great shelf piece, as many people don't know what it is. Especially when they hear that it was from Nintendo! I just ordered a screwdriver so I can take mine apart and fix the glitchy display. Just bought a new game for it as well, galactic pinball. I've played it before but had to sell most of my stuff when I was short on money.
So, what are the best VB games?
Teleroboxer has the best virtual feel to it in my opinion. But looking past just "how good at a virtual feel it is", what games are good?

I've been in the VB scene since 08 and I tried for years to fix my displays using the oven trick, but it never worked fully. So about a year ago I had RunnerPack do a permanent fix on my VB's displays, they've been working perfectly ever since.
I strongly recommend everyone do the same. He only charged $20, and it really is permanent.

OP here, I'm actually about to do the oven trick. If I don't give it a shot I may try this fix you speak of. How do I go about doing it?

It's slightly complicated, but there are a few pages dedicated to showing you how to do it.
That said, when I sent my displays in he told me that "baked" displays tend to be more difficult to fix. You're better off not trying the oven trick and just getting them soldered ASAP. (You can solder them yourself too, there are guides for it, but only attempt if you know what you're doing. Working VBs aren't exactly going down in value.)

I just recently bought one with Wario Land. I love it. What specifically causes these things to die? Age? Use? Should i be worried?
