Insmouse acquired!

I've collected all the Virtual Boy games that came out in America and I've been slowly finding the ones only released in Japan. My collection is almost complete so getting these rare gems is difficult. But today is a good day. Insmouse fell into my lap today. It's a FPS on the Virtual Boy! Can't wait to fire it up. Super rare find.

Yeah, it actually looks intriguing, too! How much did it set you back if you don't mind my asking?

Huh? What'd ya know, so there is more virtual boy games after all only from Japan only. I wonder if there's any good games from Japan btw.

A steep $130. I had to take the dive. Didn't want it to slip through my fingers again . This was my 5th attempt.

Nice!!!! Its always exciting to get a gem like this!!! You peaked my interest!! An FPS on Virtual Boy sounds, well, it sounds painful but interesting none the less!!!

You gonna play it?

Of course I'm gonna play it! Like with the other Japanese games, I have to find a translated manual online so I know what I'm doing.

HAHA, years ago I gave Streex shit for not having a truly complete collection, when he had none of the Japanese games. Ive created a monster.

Hey now, with the really rare gems I usually have the actual game and then either another cartridge loose OR a burned copy of the same game so wear and tear doesn't go on the original copy.

Sorry, didn't mean to come across so obtuse. I'm weak. I don't have the willpower to not play a game if it's staring at me. I probably will only play it enough to beat it, like the other Japanese games, but its value has dropped since it was already unsealed when I bought it.

LOL no problem man, you didn't come off as obtuse I was just being an ass. I gotta say just from looking at this game's art it looks friggin' sweet. I know its not going to be, but it is prolly a neat game nonetheless. You have made me jealous. lol

I've finally had the chance to play it and already beat it. The FPS plays like a NES FPS. Like Friday the 13th when you were in houses looking for Jason, no animation going from room to room. Music adds a lot to the tension. There are 4 different endings to this game. It all rests on how fast you complete the rooms. There are items like ammo for your gun (you use to shoot monsters), white and black orbs (to reveal the map and items in the room), and hearts for energy. This is easily my favorite Japanese game yet. I didn't even have to find an English translation. The game is mostly in English. How did Japanese folk feel when this game came out for them and it was all in English?

They prolly didn't mind because everyone reads/speaks English cuz it rocks. lol
