Crazy story there.
I made sure to take breaks after playing my Virtual Boy every 15 minutes or so to prevent any eye damage. Sorry to hear that your vision is so fyocked up as a result of playing a game. I make a living with my eyesight and I would hate to think I messed it up by goofing off with a game of some sort. same reason I pay extra for good goggles when playing paintball...
I bought mine in a clearance bin at EB for $20 and I got the games for $5 each at the time. Lately, they've become collectors items again... especially in the condition mine is in and with some of the games that I have. You should see some of the completed auctions... one of them went for over $300 within the last month. I stand a pretty good chance of getting my original $80 investment back and a decent chance of it going higher (I've got 18 people watching and the bidding is up to $42 with over five days left to go).

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
