Ah, yes, the
Virtual Boy.
Nintendo's only true flop, but still a wildly innovative system (
or was that just an interesting gimmick?) with quite a few great games and some almost proper fully 3D visuals to make your head ache. Happily, you can now grab two of them
VBs -one in mint condition and a half-working one for spares I guess- complete with 18 cartridges via this extremely reasonably priced
Virtual Boy eBay auction. Among the included games you'll find such true rarities as
Water World,
Nester Funky Bowling and
Galactic Pinball and some lovely little games like
3D Tetris,
Mario Tennis,
Wario Land and
Golf. Paying anything less than 200$, 100 pounds or 130 euros should turn this one into a huge bargain.

I think I saw those in Star Trek. They painted them gold and used them as eye blasters
