I remember when I got this for Christmas the year it came out, I was the coolest kid in school, then my teacher took it away cause I was playing it in class. Anyway I remember the battery life was garbage. Yours is in such great shape. Still work?

my friend has one of these that is busted up and has abnormaly loud sound. I mean turn it on crank it up and go down stairs and still hear it clearly loud. I bought one thinking it was normal for that system, and to my surprise mine (in almost mint condition) could not go as loud. Oh well...

I haven't tested it in a long time, but it should still work. These things were like tanks. Unless you dropped it a lot or smashed it.

I believe it was CNET that named the gameboy the most durable consumer electronics product ever. There is one that survived a mortar attack in the first gulf war. It still works and is on display in some museum.

When I was a kid every Christmas day my parents would go visit the relatives right after I opened my gifts. Usually it was torture because I had to wait all day to play with my toys. The year I got a Gameboy I remember taking it with me to all the relatives. It was a good Christmas.

Good old Gameboy. I still think that this along with Tetris and Pokemon launched handheld gaming to its massive place today.

I still remember saving up my paper route money to buy my GameBoy. No Tetris included, but I bought Yoshi's Cookie which was great.
