I agree. These system is not really ergonomically friendly.Originally Posted by Kriff
Why play a game for a long period of time if you get cramps in your hands constanly? Its the only reason I stopped playing Monster Hunter: Freedom.
ATM, I use it more-or-less as a video player. I dl things from Ebaum and other sites to show some of my friends some of the funny crap people do.

i got my psp for free actually....it was in shitty condition no analog stick...cracked up screen....but after a few minutes on ebay found the right parts now its in perfect condition.
and I have to give much props to nintendo for this one....my nephew came over one day hes only 1..and he has a bad habit of throwing things in water....so he takes my sisters gba sp and throws it in the toilet....it sits in there for a couple of minutes and the power is on and everything...and to my surprise it was still working...it looked cool underwater but i had to take it out right away and its funny because even now it works...nobody uses it because it smells like toilet lol but it works..

Yeah...My first GBA (the big blocky model), has scratches all over the screen, some caused from a soccer ball incident, others caused from dropping it, and others caused by nephew. Red stains from Jamaicas soil completely covers it, lol. And last but not least, the clasp on the back cover is broken, so now I have no cover, and my batteries drop out. Lol.

Nintendo makes some of the hardiest hardware ever.
There is in fact a Game Boy that went to Vietnam and back. It's dirty, looks like it went through a fire and so much more.
It still works.

Still good? I wanna see all old consoles/handhelds. Oldest one i've seen is that, Commodore 64...

Yes, its still in good condition. I also have everything it came with, even the box.
My brother collects consoles. He has an Activision, Neo Geo, all the Atari, Coleco, NES, SNES, Game Gear, SMS, Sega Gen., Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and some others from N64 up to date. Whats cool it that he got these systems when they were brand new and just released. He is an avid collector of vintage consoles and their games.
My favorite thing he has is the Gyro-Bot from NES.

They make some hardy cartridges too. I found the first DBZ RPG for GBA out in the street, it had been run over by cars a few time, lol. All you have to do is press the sides in and shove it into the GameBoy and it would still work.

Lol,this actualy made me remember something-
When my friend bought his PSP,it had a huge dead pixel.I laughed so hard at it,i think all the pixels died.
He got to trade it for a new one.
Me?I just wish i had the money,i'd get a freakin' Wii.

Only damage I have done to a handheld was when I dropped my game boy in like grade 5 it broke the speakers or something. I haven't had a handheld since.
EMULATION FTW.

LOL, I associated ones person failures to their parent's. I was quite amused by this....... considering that I do say things much harsher than that. I guess its how the adolescent mind interpret things.
Atari was not the first. Arcades where the first.
Atari seen its profits and attempted to make their own profits by making a "home" version. Coleco and Activision systems were also around during the first wave of gaming. Then it died.
A decade later (+/- a few years), you got the Famicom (AKA Japanese's origianl version of the NES). At a later time, the NES was born in the US.
Like I always say, without old school, you got nothing.

Wow. Your luck sucks. I've dropped my PSP so many times that every corner is dented. Machine works likes it new. I didn't drop it on a carpet either. I sat at a desk in computer graphics class where the seats are 4-5 feet high and it fell.
The disk flew out but i just put it back in and it worked. Strong system i must say.

Nintendo has to due to the majority age group. (5-13) Of course the range can go much higher (me included), but im saying the majority.

The first home console was the little Brown Box designed by Ralph Baer, wich was redesigned, and renamed the Magnavox Odyssey after Magnavox signed him over. Atari basically ***** their idea, though, and that's how the Atari home consoles were made, lol.
Yeah. There is an NDS emulator. Doesn't support sound, however, but it can run the old games, as well as some of the new games near flawlessly.
