about a month or two ago I put one of my ngpc in my car because I had an outdoor activity planned and I knew it was going to be boring. Well, I forgot it was in there until yesterday.

I was waiting on the apartment people to bring me my new key when I remember my pocket. i pull it out and lo and behold it not only comes on but it lets me continue my game too! If anybody konws how the heat is in florida they KNOW how incredible this is. It's just incredible how durable these little gems are. If only everything was built SNK tough..

I dropped mine down a set of 20 stairs, it just kept on bouncing and bouncing.

I started to freak thinking it was a goner, I picked it up and the thing didn't have a scratch on it! Works fine to this day, tough little bastards they are.

It may not be my NGPC, but...

When I visited my aunt in Cali a few years back, I brought my Gameboy (the grey/yellow one). Anyways, we went to see a movie one day, and I put it under the seat of the car so it didn't get stolen. Well, this was 104 degree weather or whatnot. Anyways, I come back after the movie, and three columns of pixels are fully burnt out. That tought me good :-(.

Later,

A 350 pound man sat on my NGPC, and nothing. Just a slight creaking sound whenever you hold it real tight.

got mine used and if you hit the bottom right corner hard enough (you'd have to be trying to do this except for the one time when i discovered it... hurt my hand like hell) it shuts off and loses all of it's internal memory. other than that, its great... (it might have a couple of scratches on the screen though)

i wonder if my game would stop if i dropped the thing... well, i'm not gonna test it :D

The only problem mine has is the damn scratches on screen. That thing just seems to create them for me, I don't know. I get really iritated at that...

I broke the battery cover (my own fault for fiddling with it too much). I fixed it with a can of sardines!

This is the least interesting story of all...thankyou for reading :)
