"End of an Era: The Gulf War Game Boy Bids Farewell"

The iconic Game Boy that survived an explosion during the Gulf War has been retired from the Nintendo Store in New York City and returned to Nintendo's headquarters in Washington State. The Game Boy, which had its plastic casing scorched and buttons melted, was sent to Nintendo for repair and miraculously still worked. While it's unclear what retirement plans Nintendo has for the charred Game Boy, it is considered a piece of gaming history that belongs in a museum.
