Mrs. A. Jones from Llantwit Major was brutally attacked by a young teenager last week who wanted to steal her pension book. She is currently in hospital suffering from three broken ribs and shock. The Consultant Psychologist stated that the recovery process will be long and painful, and will require a lot of hard work from her and her family to get her back to her lovely self.
In a press conference held last Thursday, Jane Jones, her daughter, stated that "it was all thanks to Nintendo that she couldn't defend herself against the teenager who attacked her."
The police, along with full cooperation by Nintendo, investigated such matters and managed to figure out what had happened. Mrs Jones had been walking from her local newsagents where she buys her grandchildren sweets every time they visit. A young teenager, who for legal reasons cannot be named, had seen her come out of the shop with a larger handbag than when she entered and had challenged her for the sweets. She went to hit him with her handbag as most old age pensioners do, however the bag was filled mostly with Gelatine Cola Bottles which softened the blow allowing the teenager to attack her and steal her sweets.
"It is a terrible crime that has been committed, but is only one of many similar cases I've had to deal with," stated Police Chief William Bill. Many a pensioner has been attacked in similar ways when young teenagers realised that those handbags were nice and soft.
So how has this come to be? Well it turns out that Pensioners, ever since the late 1980's have been buying Game Boy's to stick inside their handbags as they are heavier and much more effective than a brick. These silver-gray boxes that delighted many a child throughout the years has been the main source of protection for grandmothers who want to guard the sweets they always buy for their loved ones.
However, since the invention of the Game Boy Pocket, that is a much better handheld than it's predocessor, and the release of the Game Boy Color and Advance, things have changed dramatically. New grandmothers
who didn't realise there was any difference have been buying them, placing them in their handbags, but because of their slim size and light weight, they have done nothing to thwart street crime. Even protestors have decided that they can not throw Game Boys through the windows of their local McDonalds franchises now that they've shrunk!
So there we have it, Nintendo who claim the cater for all ages, have stopped producing units for the very mature of us, and have caused a rise in Street Crime. Not very considerate of them, especially when their current owner, soon to retire, Hiroshi Yamauchi is in his 70's himself!
Fight Crime! Bring back the Game Boy!

The original Game Boy's screen is a black liquid crystal display on a dark green background. If you adjust the contrast slightly, it can be very difficult to get it back perfectly. That was the reason for the sharper and CLEARER screen of the Game Boy Pocket, and the design was changed very little for the Game boy Color.
The Game Boy Advance's screen needs no alterations at all. If you're going to play a dark game, just get a Glowguard which lights up the screen perfectly! I've never had a problem seeing games (including Doom and Castlevania) on the Game Boy Advance, and I usually play in a darkish room with artificial lighting anyway.
