Duck Tape Doubles as a Battery Cover

While rummaging through websites on video game reviews and what not I couldn't help but think about Nintendo and their 8-bit wonder that was the Game Boy. This classic little brick of a hand held gaming device is something I'm sure many of us will never forget if you grew up in the 80's to early 90's. I can still remember toting that thing around glued to it with much fascination. Of course, at the time, it was a fascination. Gaming on the go. I don't recall many of the games, but I do recall, like most games from back in the day, that they were quite difficult for some reason. I don't know if it was just for the fact I was so young or what. But goddamn were they tough. Games like Super Mario Land and everyone's favorite game of stacking oddly shaped blocks on top of one another that is Tetris. Another game that really sticks out for some reason is Dr. Mario. I could be wrong about this... but I remember you had to stack pills according to color... only the fucking game was in black and white. Was it made for dogs?I don't have my classic Game Boy anymore today. God only knows what the hell happened to it... but I do still have my Game Boy Color. In its clear, blueish-purple, totally non-homo case. I still play it too. Maybe once a year, but who's counting? The only game I have, or that I can still actually find, is Metal Gear Solid. And basically only because I'm a die hard MGS fan and I broke my PlayStation and sold my Xbox for happy pills. Otherwise I probably would have burned the damn thing by now.
