[Update: Whoops! Someone tell Blake there is this cool company that makes elf-like and plumber games that are really fun. I guess you can’t know everything about Nintendo, although I’ve been to Nintendo World Store and lived online for the past 10 years, this one must have slipped through the cracks.]

Ummm… yeah. Haven't you been to the Nintendo World Store yet?
Meanwhile, my PS2 dual-shock already doesn't work and it's only 2 years old!
*cough*It's okay Infendo. It's okay.
Yeah, that's from the Nintendo World Store …
Sorry I wasn't trying to be an a-hole, love the site and I just though I remembered you talking about going there.
We all make mistakes.
I'm sure that Gameboy would work but that war thing ssounds very fake.
You mean that the Gulf War never happened, or that the GameBoy didn't really go to that war?
The screen and select/start (rubber) buttons look intact. No scratch. No sign of burn or whatever. That is amazingly unbelievable.
I have seen this Game Boy at Nintendo World in NY 😀
way back in the day nintendo power ran an article on a gameboy that survived gulf war I. any relation?
hahaaha…. I meant that gameboy surviving the war, and melting everywhere yet the screen looks great for a beatup system like that, not forgetting the red led isn't blocked by melted plastic also.The war did exist. Wasn't it for saving the world from Saddam Hussein and his assasins? I remember he was defeated by Lloyd Bridges in a light saber duel & Charlie Seen dropped a bomb blowing him up in the end!
It's at 'tendo World…never gets old seeing it…
hey! I'm mexican! and I'm a rocker! are you like an evil twin or something Mexican Rocker?
