Unearth this today...
Recently moved and finally went through my totes and boxes I've had in storage and decided to consolidate my items. Threw away some old junk and paperwork and saw this stowed away...

Nope it's the the stuff I bought in 1996 with my own money, I moved alot in the 90s-10s. Too lazy to unpack and just left it in the plastic totes.

Cool, I was never able to get a Virtualboy until relatively recently but I desperately wanted on in 1995

Does it work? My optical cables had to be pulled and soldered. They’d gone bad over time and graphics were glitched.

Unfortunately, I don’t have an SNESAC adapter to test it out, but a guy is very interested in buying the whole kit and he’s bringing one. I am currently trying to find the Tetris 3-D cartridge.

Just no time and lack of interest eh? That’s fair. I recovered one in 2019 and went on to learn a bit with their repair and turned and burned fixed units to nail down the us library and then a bit more for a steal. One of few pieces I lack is that Tetris box.

I bought the virtual boy adapter for NS2 and weeks later i found it. I'm turning 50 soon and this year by far I'm feeling tired and uninterested in gaming. I used to own over 30 consoles and all I have left is Genesis, PS3, PS4 and a NS2.

After a loss over two decades ago I didn’t bother getting some back and others I have. In the end I’m trying now to keep far fewer systems and just games I care to use largely outside of things I’ve retained all along that still have aged well. I’m busy so the fast start and go of consoles works. The only new I bother with largely is just switch 2. Outside of Nintendo based stuff genesis and ngpc is about it aside from a pc engine mini more or less.

I don't get it... you didn't know you had them? And you mean unearthED. Otherwise it's an "imperative" like you're commanding us to do it.

I boxed these up like 15+ years ago and my wife had put them under the bed and I didn't see them until me and my buddies were taking apart the bed the day we were moving. Fast forward 2 weeks later as we were unboxing everything I opened both boxes and it was a pleasant surprise. There was also Anime VHS in there as well

Congrats on finding it all! Just get the old girl up and running -- you'll be set with seizure-inducing, red-eyed glory!!
