    Good on them! The Game Boy truly was revolutionary in the way that it used its resources at hand and popularized handheld gaming for many!

    And no other gaming platform really was as popular as the Game Boy was at the time or ever since. And if there's one thing Nintendo always had a grip on, it was the handheld market. #gameboy

    @Everyone: *sigh* You lot all completely missed the point I was trying to make. It was sold in the USA, but wasn't it designed and created by a Japanese company? I mean, I thought something National would be, you know, patriotic? And not include things that, well, belong to another Nation?

    My Nan brought me my first Game boy, that big red chunky behemoth, along with Super Mario Land and James Bond (best fucking Bond game EVER!), for christmas when I was 7.

    I loved that thing so much, I still have it somewhere. In fact, I think I have about 4 original game boys in my house, including one covered with worn stickers of Pikachu, Scyther, Jigglypuff and Nurse Joy that were free with Nintendo Official Magazine! Ah, the nostalgia.

    I salute you, Game Boy, for a childhood of brilliant handheld gaming!

    @Scotland: I quite like my iPhone case... which is the clear stick on non scratch one... so it looks like an iPhone. You can say what you like about the iPhone and its gaming prowess but it sure is one pretty gadget!

    Or as they would say in sunny Glasgow: It's pure dead gorgeous man...

    @Scotland: I bought the felt gameboy case ( which you linked to) about a month before the gizmodo article. As soon as it was featured it sold out completely, the poor girl who made them probably worked til her hands bled to keep up with demand, subsequently she appears to have stopped making them (although there are a now a number of similar cases available).
    I really like the case although I question if it will last much longer, I often get compliments from ( mostly non gaming) friends, most of whom own those hideous silicon cases (which I despise) or something equally horrific. #iphone

    I'm interested in doing something similar, since my gameboy screen is busted. The only problem is that my gameboy is now yellow. I tried using white spirit to clean it, but it didn't work.

    @TarnishedReputation: As the two posters stated above, that's just what happens. Although I did read an article a few months ago about some kind of cleaner that could restore the original color to classic Macintoshs (did you know those things were actually white at one point in their lives? Every one I'd ever seen was that sickly yellow color.) that I'm sure would work here.
