I wouldn't be surprised if it _*is_* exaggerated, like E.T. on Atari 2600 is. I always felt like even James Rolfe went easy on the Virtual Boy in the AVGN Episode (that is, _*comparatively_* to the other episodes.) James had to focus on the negative aspects in it, because that's what he usually does in AVGN episodes.


 
If you consider the Virtual Boy as a novelty for teenagers and adults (which isn't what it was meant for) and not a console for general use or for anyone younger than 13, there _*is_* some quality to it. It may only be for the exclusive games on it and what it was (cheaply) trying to do at the time, though. I'd rate it 6 out of 10, eyestrain considered (which I never got by playing it, since I actually took breaks every 15 minutes *and had the settings configured to *my* eyes.) The A/C Adapter Accessory is a must, though.


 
The Sega 32x, on the other hand, deserves its bad reputation. I had one of those, too; it was bought brand new in 2003, and it wouldn't work properly with _*all_* games. Some worked, but others didn't. I eventually found the reason was with the unit, and it was fixable if you knew what was wrong, but it just shows the unit's bad quality. The 32x is like a _*bad_* movie from Vietnam War Era that was trying to be shocking, failed horribly in the market, and aged even worse. It might have a few highlights here and there, but why would you want to play anything but that one scene / game?

It probably is long-term use that causes issues, not that I ever experienced it.
