Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Reminds me of that GameBoy that went through a fire or a bomb or something and still worked.

You mean the GameBoy from the first Gulf War? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Game_boy_damaged_in_the_gulf_war.JPG

Yeah, and that was in 1991.

That's the one! Thanks! I gave up on finding it after about 10 seconds of googling.

Don't worry, even if I didn't link it here, someone was bound to repost it to reddit for the zillionth time. :/

Seriously though, that O.G. never stopped working.

WHen I was a kid, it was dropped numerous times on the floor and toilet, as well as having various juices spill on it. Never ever had any problems.

The only machine that grew up with me, and did not die.

I read, "portal of the dead", and hoped for a zombie survival portal mod that made the facility and it's test subjects that last remaining humans who would have to fight zombies and Glados to survive.

/end long sentence and all hope.

Amusing? Yes.

But I'm still saddened to see a brick with so much abuse.

I found my GameBoy up on the attic just last week. I bought it the day it came out back in the day. Even though it was stored in the original box in another box, the plastic was all yellow. Time hadn't been kind to it all, which is strage since my SNES looks just like the day I bought it. And it still had Tetris in the cartridge slot. I didn't dare test it if it still worked or not...

the disappointing part about it for me is that the scratches and scuffings don't tell any kind of story other than

'i took a knife and a key and ruined my gameboy'

The best part is, this is a Nintendo console. It probably still works.

If I could give you more than one up vote I would. This thing is awesome. Gameboy's always were made tough as nails.
