You broke the screen somehow. (Bad angle maybe?). That's the most fragile part.tehweave said:How the hell is it so resistant? I had a friend with an original gameboy back when I was 7 (1995) and I got so frustrated with a game that I slammed the gameboy into my forehead (anger issues back then) and the screen was smashed to pieces. Completely unplayable. Here I am 16 years later and I've heard about the gameboy that lived through the gulf war (AND WAS STILL PLAYABLE) and the fact that LRR dropped a gameboy twice... Barely did anything, and even after hitting it with a crowbar, all it did was break the plastic...
Did my friend have a really faulty one, or what?
The one that got destroyed in the gulf war had it's screen replaced, so it's only relatively true that it still worked. (the other electronics survived intact, but the screen was damaged enough to need replacing.)
They're tough, but not completely unbreakable. XD
