Well done on the construction, but I'm sure that playing it still gives you a massive headache.

The Migraine Boy returns! (I had one of those things...cool concept, but the execution just made it feel like a pumped up version of those old TOMY 3D electronic games)

I never gave me a headache but the games suck (99% of them). Aside from Wario and the Mario Bros. game, I don't know what's even worth playing on the system.

Red Alert wasn't bad, and the tennis game was ok...4 games do not make a system though.

I don't remember Red Alert but I'm pretty sure I played it on a display or something. The Tennis game gets praise because it's clearly one of the best games on the system but it's nothing special at all. It was good enough to be a system bundle game or $10 new or something. Most of the games on the system should have never passed a quality assurance test/unsellable. I bought a VB and a bunch of games when they quit making them and the erm, I think it was Electronics Boutique, was trying to get rid of all their stock so I got it dirt cheap and games for like 5 each. I still have it all except I sold my sorry ass Waterworld cart to some insane collector a while back.

I forgot about Waterworld...the game was worse than the movie...an impressive feat.

Saw the build thread on the KLOV forums. Really cool.

who would want that?



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms
