Your Game Boy games need to be protected. Why? From what? Game Boy games come in little cartridges. These cartridges are for all intent and purposes identical in media to the (much larger) clunky ?bricks? that use to hold games for the Atari 2600. There?s an outside plastic cover and a sensitive, delicate inside. This inside houses microchips and a circuit board -- both of which are susceptible to oxidation, water damage, and shock.
Now, while it is good that the Game Boy games have an outside casing, the Atari 2600 cartridges had some protection that is absent on GB games. There is no protective cover to keep dust off of the contacts. These contacts would be the part that actually connects to the Game Boy. This would be the same area which is shaped just right to act as a ?scoop? for dust, lint, or whatever else you might have in your pockets. Add to that the fact that you?re expected to carry your Game Boy around with you and you?re just BEGGING for trouble. Enter Nyko?s Care Case. These are rugged, stylish little Game Boy game covers which protect your games from dust, dirt, and moisture... as well as the inevitable ?banging up? that will occur as things bounce around in your pocket, purse, backpack, or what-have-you. They work well and, once again, Nyko provides a product that really should have come with games to begin with.
