This was one of those "difficult last step" episodes. The end of Virtual Boy Works is so near! I almost have the entire series wrapped up! But... first, there's SD Gundam: Dimension War.

About the only good thing to happen with this episode was that Chris Kohler once again provided use of his copy of the game so I wasn't out $1000 or more to cover it, on top of everything else. Thanks, Chris.

Anyway, the good news is that Virtual Boy is almost done—and the final game is legitimately excellent.

SD Gundam Dimension War retrospective: Thin red lines | Virtual Boy Works #20

Japan's next-to-last Virtual Boy release, and the only Japanese title for the platform to be based on a media license. It's SD Gundam, though, and you can bet it lives down to whatever expectations that might instill for you. A brief and unpleasant strategy game in which battles play out through terrible combat sequences, Dimension War is definitely not worth the enormous price it commands on the aftermarket.
