The temperature climbed, the vast pools of ice at it's poles melted, and the oceans rose.
Centuries later, few people remained on this planet, once called Earth.
A lone mariner sails the expanse of water, trading to survive.
For survival, is all these people do, in this place they know only as Waterworld.
About Virtual Boy
Nintendo's Virtual Boy (1995) was an early, tabletop-mounted stereoscopic 3D system that used red monochrome displays — a design that caused user discomfort and contributed to it being discontinued within a year. Its extremely short commercial life produced one of the smallest official game libraries of any Nintendo platform, making complete Virtual Boy titles a genuinely rare and sought-after niche among Nintendo collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Waterworld for Virtual Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Waterworld to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This VB release dates back to 1995.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Waterworld, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Virtual Boy titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
