Gameboy survives Gulf War bomb


Some of you have already seen this, but for those that haven't, below is a Gameboy that can still run games despite being wounded in a barracks bombing during the Gulf War. The unit is currently on display at the Nintendo World Store in NYC. Check the forums for a video of it running Tetris.

Thats cool, just to think what that GameBoy went through....this was way back in what...91?93?

i wish my psp was that strong

i droped my psp on the cocrete ground, and the LCD broke, but the game boy was bombed and its still good

I heard of that. I love Nintendo world. Also its funny how there all like Japanese in the video. XD

Very cool! Now that's how you build a portable!

Another thing that could survive a nuclear bomb, (Yes, i know the bomb wasn't nuclear, but could it survive one?)

wow, that must be cased up and put into the war musuem

thats amazing. it could be fake but most likely not.

How did the plastic LCD screen not get damaged, but the rest of it did??

Incredible! Surprising that the screen didn't get damaged though.

the sad part is even though it survived a bomb, still no1 wants to play it

bombproof gameboys lol

Just think of the marketing N can do for war torn cities!

wow, i dont beleive it.

Haha, thats awesome.

they dont make them like that anymore

Must be made of stern stuff!

*sigh* if only psp was this durable

heheh

Sony should learn from this.
