Um ok now Im not a hater towards Nintendo because I have every Gameboy model of the Gameboy series. Now obviously this Gameboy did not survive any bombing. It may have been uncovered from a bombing I dont know, but there is no way that that would still work. The screen looks new and everything. I bet they took the Torched Gameboy shell and inserted a newer Gameboy where the once working Gameboy was. No way a Gameboy survive a fire let alone a Damn bomb.
The old Game Boy have a protective screen over the original screen, but with high enough warmth the protective screen will melt or be charred. They removed the protective screen because it was probably too charred to be able to show anything. The Game Boy also had a nickname. "The Brick" or "Game Brick". Why? Because it could endure almost any damn thing. One person I know have a Game Boy which got splashed on with a full bucket of water.
@abcpat100 Guess what? It is still working. And a friend of mine have a friend that also had a game boy that was dropped dozens of times on hard concrete because of his little sister, once forgotten it out in the rain and rampaged by a crazy cat. Guess what? STILL WORKING!!! The Game Boy was made out of QUALITY. And not quantity like the DS nowadays.
For those of you saying that the DS isn't as well made as gameboys were. Close your DS, and throw it at a brick wall. I guarantee it'll still work

@louie000007 its not bull shit, the only reason it works is cause they replaced the melted screen with a new one.

Game boys are designed to be able to withstand young children. The bomb didn't have a chance at it.

They should start making weapons out of Nintendium, it's indestructable. Too bad they don't still make their handhelds out of it.

@abcpat100 You've clearly never owned an original Gameboy, and can still play on it to this day. Even though it's been through hell and back.

@abcpat100 It's a chance, but here is the thing:
The old Game Boy have a protective screen over the original screen, but with high enough warmth the protective screen will melt or be charred.
