The Gulf War Game Boy. Always wanted to see it in person. If I'm ever elected president I'll swear the oath of office on it.

Still have some doubts but looks cool as hell: https://youtu.be/EBeTXPaewMo

If it still functions it wasn't badly damaged, it was just damaged, or lightly damaged. Cosmestic damage.
ExpendableTestPilot
looks like fake

Reminds me of Top Gear: Toyota Hilux.

Not sure if it does, last time I was at Nintendo store they took that display down.
twotimingpete

I thought this was a fuckin Necronomicon gameboy before I read the caption

A US soldier, in the Middle East, playing a Russian game on a Japanese system

love those things and if it stops working doubles as a brick
FrankieFU
Mine still works like a charm, back in my day they made things to last !
ejm29
I thought it was a fallout themed case at first.
twoshady
don't they keep it plugged in as tribute to the soldier?
Templarfreak
Somehow the screen is totally intact??? You could breath on those things and they'd break.

"Functions perfectly." And yet most of the buttons on mine would stick right out of the box.

“Perfectly”

That gameboy has seen some shit

Remember seeing this in Nintendo Power 25ish years ago. Was then amazed to see the real thing when I visited the Nintendo store in NYC.
whirrrrkachunk
Wait! Is that the Nokia logo under there?
Wellshiet
Wasn't this debunked?
3dsgeek333
It's at Nintendo World, I went to see it a few years ago. It's plugged in playing a Tetris demo but the controls are pretty melted.

Also looks bitchin

No one says that but im glad you did.
TheMediocreMandalorian
At first I just thought it was a special cover/casing for it
Moonhoof
Debatable.

Go to the Nintendo Center in New York. It's there.

Being able to turn on and load a game isn't quite the same thing as being able to play on it. Those keys are toast.

The game cart is fused into the Game Boy from the blast, as are the buttons
8mindinthepsandqs8
Yeah, "perfectly"
dj505
Last I heard, the buttons are kinda melted together, and the screen/internals themselves have been replaced more than once (notice the >>

And it sits in the Nintendo store in Manhattan.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Ah seen it! It's pretty damn cool
veritasgear
And its still on demo mode!

I’ve always wanted to go to either the Nintendo store or one of the Pokémon Centers. Seems like it’d be a pretty cool experience
toriapinklotus
I went on my honeymoon. Husband is a fan but I wasn't too fussed. Now I'm a huge Nintendo fan and really want to go back!
keyonne
I went to the Manhattan Nintendo store and was a bit disappointed. What was in the cases was cool but underwhelming.
PlantyThePlant
Well, as a pretty big Nintendo fan I’d like to go just for the experience but I def’ wouldn’t just schedule a trip for that sole purpose
keyonne
Oh no. I was there for the Zelda symphony. I just popped by there because our hotel was a 10 minute walk away.

Looks like an artifact dug up from the past.

I just watched this gif like 18 times. Confused. Questions. Laughing.
