    The iconic Gulf War Game Boy has been removed and is no longer on display at the Nintendo New York store.

    The Gulf War Game Boy is an iconic console that has survived a bombing during the Gulf War. It has been on display at the Nintendo New York store until recently. It originally belonged to Dr. Stephan Scoggins, a medic who got deployed during Operation Desert Storm in 1990-1991. The front of the Game Boy got completely burnt, but it could still turn on. It got displayed in the store as proof of the system’s durability and Dr. Scoggins got a replacement as a special Desert Storm courtesy.
