GAME BOY
DAMAGED IN GULF WAR This Game Boy was damaged when barracks were bombed during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. It still works! Photograph taken at the Nintendo World Store in NYC. A Strategic Victory for Game BoyEnclosed are the remains of my one-time comforter, playmate, and rejuvenator… Game Boy. As a police officer in Oklahoma City and registered nurse serving in Operation Desert Storm, I've faced many perils. Fortunately, this Game Boy, several Game Paks, and sundry personal items were the only casulaties claimed by a fire while I was stationed in the Middle East. I'm probbaly not the first to ask, but is it possible to get a replacement Stephan Scoggins Oklahoma City, OK When we received Stephan's Game Boy from the Middle East,we thought that it was a goner. The back of the unit was in fair conditioned, 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. "A Strategic Victory for Game Boy", Nintendo Power, Jul. 1991: 7. Comments Beautiful
-- Run if you can...  omg that's amazing
it still looks pretty sweet though -- I feel like and inside out peach in a microwave.... (in other words, warm and fuzzy inside)  This is why I love Nintendo. They make stuff that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. X3
-- Don't get in my way, I've got a score to settle. The blood I hunt is stain enough on my hands and I don't wish to add yours to it. Now move, insolent dog, lest your name be added to my list of murders. ~Kiara  I like the concept
 that's so cool!
 Wow! That's pretty cool!
--  Arr, A pirate's life for me! Don't mess with me, I'm a pirate. ~Where did the rum go!?~  How come the start and select buttons didn't melt? Thats still awesome though.
-- "Art is beautiful in that it imitates life, but living life to the fullest is, in itself, TRUE ART." 98% of teens have been drunk or high. Post this in your signature if you like bagels.  thats really awesome
do you have the full backstory on it? -- [acquantaince]  [carbon made] [a blog] [photos] Wow. That's...wow. What makes it even more amazing is that it's 2008, so it's a 17 year old B&W Game Boy that's torched...and still works! Ah, those were the days, when tech gear was actually durable.
