Virtual Boy starting to die

Last time I turned on my Virtual Boy to make some mp3's I was frightened. The image inside had a second image of the screen laying on top of the first, reversed. At first I thought it just needed to be adjusted but the controls were fine. After pressing some buttons and seeing the screen messed up during gameplay I started to get scared for my VB. Finally after running for about 5 minutes the second reversed screen image disappeared. I ran through a few games and they all had no problems after that. I hope that was from lack of playing it for a while and it was just showing me how mad it was. I'd hate for my Virtual Boy of 14 years need to be laid to rest.

Hmmm...I wonder if it can go to a Nintendo authorized repair shop...

VB is fail. Mine does that from time to time as well. What gets me worried is that you still use yours. I have 15 games for it, and only Wario is even playable. Please tell me that is what you were gonna bust out!?

I was making mp3's for the website (crappy quality unfortunately). I pull it out every once in a while when I get a new japanese import. Last time I actually played it was last year to play through Space Squash, which I had a ton of fun with.

Yowza. Crazy man! It hurts my eyes too much to play it anymore. I have the Jack Bros so its all good. lol

You're supposed to take breaks! I know you don't want to even when the game tells you to. It doesn't give me headaches or hurt my eyes, but if I play it for more than an hour nonstop and look into reality, there is a tint of red to everything around me. Kind of a trip.

Oh yeah, I love Jack Bros.
