Oh, that makes total sense (and is, yet, exactly the sort of thing I would not know). Thank you for the excellent advice.

Despite those other Internet listings, the first word of the Japanese title would normally be romanized as “Insumausu.” Might help you find it.

[...] This is Innsmouth Mansion…inspired by one of the literary works of H.P. Lovecraft. It really is a FPS based on the work of Lovecraft. I have a Virtual Boy, and now I desperately want this! Make sure to click here to check out a video. [...]

Dude, it’s crazy. I saw a cartridge of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt over there, American, selling for 50 bucks. 50! I think that’s where I’m dragging all my doubles next time I go.

You sleep through everything good in life! Admit it!

I have a plan by the way; We buy up every copy of Virtual Bart and Maximum Carnage in America, go to Japan, sell the lot and live like Kings! KINGS I TELLS YA!

That way we can afford you crazy expensive Lovecraftian spectroscopic nightmare games.

OH, I ADMIT IT. I meant to be awake for the end of the auction, and I wasn’t! I wasn’t! I was asleep!

The internet says that the game is pretty rare in Japan, too. You may just have to seek out a virtual boy flashcart and throw it on there!

Alternately, assemble a super team of donors to throw money in next time it comes up on ebay so that you only have to pay 10 bucks.
