That was a novelty cartridge for the hit game Super Salami World.

Why Is there no salami on your game boy?

What else do you put in the snack slot?

Turbo salami

I believe it’s actually an oversized red cartridge that has some distortion over it (thus the “meaty” texture). I remember these carts, but not this specific one. It could be a game with a rumble or an accelerometer (like WarioWare Shake or Move whichever had the weird cart), might also be a cheat device like a game genie or game shark. I vaguely recall a third name in that race in the old days, and that might have been this red cart. I can’t find pictures now given the vague info I have (just endless photos of Pokémon Red carts.)

? Brother it’s just the top of a decal on his sweatshirt.

Hmmm, yeah, could be that too. Looks like there’s some more designs on his sleeve.

You clearly never had a Gameboy.

Most teen boys play with their salami.

Odds are high this kid was an insufferable little puke.

Yeah. He picked on me for being poor and my mother did her best by getting this…

…which was actually a really fun game. He threw it in the toilet, but I pulled it apart, dried it out, and it worked again.

Edit: Matt was his name. He got a girl pregnant in grade 9 and no one knows what happened to him after that.

A lot of those LCD games sucked, but every so often there would be a decent one. Glad your mom was able to get you a fun one.

Really, it isn’t so much about the technology as it is what you do with it. I did have a Gameboy, but I have a much older brother and I inherited his Merlin and I probably played it just as much.

Anyway, there were some super shitty Gameboy games, so I hope your bully only had those.

My dad got me a GameBoy Pocket many years later. Still got it and still works. Was my pride and joy, even though GameBoys weren’t all the craze anymore by then.

I had the original, but the games were super expensive, so I had three of them: Tetris, Super Mario World and Batman, to my enjoyment as a kid, in that level of suckitude. Tetris was fun until I beat it every time. The other two were too hard for me. Also, Batman just sucked as a game.

By the time the GBC and then the Pocket came out, I was in college and “too old” for “kids games,” so I played “real” games on a computer. Never had an NES and never bought another Nintendo product until the Wii. Now I wish Nintendo would put out a modern version of the Wii.
