A Strategic Victory for Game Boy

"Enclosed are the remains of my one-time comforter, playmate, and rejuvenator... Game Boy. As a police officer in Oklahoma City and a registered nurse serving in Operation Desert Storm, I've faced many perils. Fortunately, this Game Boy, several Game Paks, and sundry other personal items were the only casualties claimed by a fire while I was stationed in the Middle East. I'm probably not the first to ask, but is it possible to get a replacement?

When we received Stephan's Game Boy from the Middle East, we thought it was a goner. The back of the unit was in fair condition, but the front was charred and blistered from the heat of the fire. As an experiment, we popped in a Tetris Game Pak, plugged in a Battery Pak, and flipped on the power switch. When we heard its distinctive "Ping!" we couldn't believe it! The Control Pad and A and B Buttons suffered melt down, but the Start and Select buttons worked perfectly. Game Boy is even tougher than we thought it was! Of course, we don't recommend that you subject your Game Boy to trial by fire, but in this case, we replaced Stephan's Game Boy as a special "Desert Storm" courtesy.

It looks like a lost cause, but a closer look at the screen shows that the Game Boy still works - sort of.

Published in Nintendo Power, Volume 26, July 1991.

The Brick Game Boy. The only thing that'll be left after nuclear fallout to smash the roaches with.

this would go well with Sakura's batch of indestructable Gamecube Armor and Wiipedoes (Wiimote torpedoes)...

I was trying to find in my old Nintendo powers the letter from 1988/1989 that had to do to the duribility of Nintendo products. Someone said their dad ran their NES over with a car by acident (how the hell that happened, I have no idea), and outside of it being a pain to get games in or out of it, the NES worked fine.

I swear, Nintendo should never go into an armor-making business. Whoever would buy their armor would be invincible. >_>

Unless the roaches mutated and armed themselves with these:

I have a colour, but played the classic at friends.

I am going to build a bomb shelter out of them.
