He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget.Ever heard the urban legend about how the original Nintendo Game Boy survived a bomb? I have reason to believe that’s not true. But until recently, the flagship Nintendo Store at New York City’s Rockefeller Center housed an original Game Boy that, it claimed, was damaged in a bombing during Operation Desert Storm.

If it’s true, and if it’s not coming back, we’re hoping that Nintendo will display it somewhere else. But just in case it doesn’t, here are five 4K images of the Gulf War Game Boy for posterity.

I shot these photos with a Pixel 3 when I visited the store in 2019. You can download them, blow them up, freely share them if you like Just link back if you do please?
