Damaged vision ahoy!
I'd also add V-Tetris. It's a surprisingly good adaptation and cheap.
Worth noting, since you're talking about region free, that 3D Tetris and V-Tetris are two different games (one came out in each region), just about the only instance that happened from US to JP.
I used a Virtual Boy so much as a teenager that I damaged my eyes and started seeing everything in 3D all the time ... it was horrible.
On a serious note, Virtual Boys are notorious for having the ribbon cable that connects each eye piece to the main board becoming loose because the glue that Nintendo used dries up. As such, it's worth tracking down a unit that has already had that issue repaired.

Don't forget about Virtual Bowling vs. Nester's Funky Bowling. Not that either are the most thrilling of games...
Japan uses NTSC, just like North America. Europe and various other places use PAL. The Virtual Boy is neither NTSC nor PAL though, because it doesn't connect to a TV.Ive seen ntsc and japan consoles on ebay.
It's 100v vs. 110v, which rarely makes any difference to the hardware. We're not talking about Europe's 220v here.

The Virtual Boy's LCD screens run at 50hz, making it technically a PAL console. The official VB development unit could output to an RGB monitor or PAL TV.
