myths of the "brick" gameboy

i heard that it still works after a bomb blast near it

it can stop a bullet

still works after falling off a tall building

what myths have you heard about it?

I don't think anyone considered those as anything other than exaggerations, but the truth was the original gameboy was probably the most durable videogame system (handheld or console) ever made. You could do a lot to that thing and not have any damage.

The joke I used to make about the Gameboy's durabilty was, "the other day I dropped my Gameboy on a cement sidewalk and the only damage was a slight crack . . . but the sidewalk already had a few cracks on it so I don't think anyone noticed one more."

Gameboys in general seem to be pretty durable and resiliant against damage.

An example I can give is one night my sister brought my GBA SP into the bathtub with her while she took a bath (without me knowing about it). As luck would have it, she dropped it into the water, and it became seriously messed up whenever you turned it on. However, after a week I turned the thing on for the hell of it and it worked perfectly as if nothing had happened.

So in conclusion, Gameboys can be bombed and dropped in water and they still will work.

i dont think ive heard any but they sound pretty fuunie

Sounds like the whole chuck norris facts phenomenon. Here, let me make up a few for the game boy.

If you drop a gameboy in the lake, it doesn't become wet, the water becomes gameboy'd.

A diamond can only be cut by another diamond.....or a gameboy!

The game boy was actually crafted out of a material that Japan originally developed to protect against another atomic blast.
