Re: great collection. lots of game history there.
And onto the main topic, it is the lack of moving parts that makes the old systems last so long. Also the fact that NES, SNES and the classic Gameboy where made of some as yet unknown meta material that cannot be destroyed.
(there is an image on the net and it is confirmed real of a gameboy that got bombed in Iraq I think is back in the first gulf war and it still booted up Tetris.) |

Its not unknown, its thick plastic with very little in the way of electronics inside. This was way before shrinking electronics mattered, so the insides had lots of space. Not to mention that the electronics give off pretty much zero heat and use little wattage.
If all you do is blow off a lot of the plastic, you can continue using the gameboy. |
