We should totally get Jamie to make a gun with gameboys. Not only will they be fatal. But the ammo is reusable.

I would sometimes fly into a rage and bite the top of my Gameboy Advance SP.
It still has bite marks in it. And it still plays.
Usually here.

Have you ever been so mad you bit the fuck out of your gameboy?
It makes sense, the guys in charge are expecting to have little kids using their hardware, and little kids are prone to testing the resistance of loads of stuff. I remember every time I would beat my kid brother at videogames he would hurl the controller with great force. It never broke.

...on my 3DS, that is, I realized something.
The Game Gear is a gigantic monster.
Maybe not a monster, Just gigantic.
Here's a picture from Tiny Cartridge of a Game Gear resting on a 3DS' top screen.

I don't know why everyone calls the original Game Boy a brick. This right here, you get some cement, you can build a house- albeit a lumpy house- with the right amount of Game Gears. Any chicken would cross the road to see you lay these.
Godzilla had a Game Gear when he was younger, fit right in his hands; but he spent a fortune on AA's, and when you're a giant monster who goes around and smashes stuff, you really don't want to pay more than you're already paying for people's destroyed property.
If you throw a Game Boy at someone's head, they'll probably just shake it off, swear at you, and have a minor bruise. If you throw a Game Gear, the bugger 'll stay down. If you throw a Sega Nomad... have fun with your life sentence.
XBOX HUEG? More like GAME GEAR HUEG!
What I'm trying to say is that this thing is a colossus. Today's portable gaming market understands "compact", but I guess in the 1990s, having no wires was the only requirement for a portable console. Back then, you'd be carrying a system the size of an Apple II and be happy you'd have your games on the go. Anyone would.
I love old games, we all do, and our newer, flashier consoles digitally restore our favorite games we one struggled to carry, but imagine paying $130 just to CARRY 130lb.
Not that I don't like the Game Gear, though.
