Bombed Game Boy goes on display in NY

See here. The console still works after being bombed in a barracks in Iraq. It’s playing Tetris, as you can see. Nintendo must be very pleased. The obvious question: what happened to whoever owned it? Maybe they weren’t so explosion-resistant.

“What you see is a Gameboy that survived a barracks bombing during the Gulf War”. That’s one famous Game Boy, but not really news anymore? Nintendo have, however, had to replace the innards of the machine, since it stopped working shortly after being brought back to the States. Ooh, that sentence is a controversial joke just waiting to happen.

Ah, right. I’ve never seen it before. Ah well. It made me wince, tbh :(
