The stick deserves it's place. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poohsticks]
.

I completely agree. I am glad I was not the only one who thought of pooh sticks

 

[Zac_Dai]

Reminds me of the fact I lost my original Gameboy some years back .

Still got a colour GB though.

Gameboys, well... yeah they're good stuff.

also, NEVER under any circumstances underestimate a stick's enjoyment factor, hell I remember playing with sticks for hours and hours as a child, I mean growing up poor had nothing to do with it, hell i got in a fight with a friend i knew who had EVERY damn toy immaginable, over a stick that was well ballanced and easy to swing at dandylions and stuff...
/end nostalgia

Although I hope there's a d20 in there, or I'll be... *rolls dice* ...very unhappy.

Im sorry my friend but that toy is most for adults and teenagers. These toys have to appeal to kids when they are atleast 4 or 5, such that they can use a gameboy for example.Also, not everyone plays table-top, and by that i mean very few people if you compare it to the gameboy.

Oh really?

As of 2006, Dungeons & Dragons remains the best-known[8] and best-selling[9] role-playing game, with an estimated 20 million people having played the game and more than US$1 billion in book and equipment sales.

And most roleplayers have at least one d20. That's without including any of the other d20 games.

Gameboy: Units sold worldwide: 118.69 million

If the d20 isn't in there, I'd be certain the d6 is.

check the figures for the gameboy and compare. If they are similar or there is not a big difference then victory is yours

I still wish that Nintendo kept using the Game Boy name. Game Boy DS doesn't sound that bad.

I agree. I sometimes refer to my DS as a Game Boy. The name is just too iconic not to say.
And it deserves its place in the Hall of Fame.

Yeah, I have to agree with this too. The name of "Game Boy" is iconic.
Anyway, the Game Boy deserves this honor, after all it pioneered portable video gaming. I remember that thing though, it was a brick.

20 Million people have D&D, D&D groups have 4-6 players on average. That's 80-120 million D20's out there. Most players have at least 2 (The "high" one and the "low" one).

Now let's look at the number of games in the D20 system, of which Dungeons and Dragons is one.

And that's modern ones. How about going back to 200 AD?

Worth a cool $17,925.

I'm gonna roll for victory now, unless you want to roll a parry?

I love that the gameboy in the picture has Tetris playing, I still have a copy of the game, which still works!
