I was in Japan for a conference, and on one of my free days I took a workshop to refurbish an original Game Boy. It was so much fun I went back the next day and built a Game Boy Advance too. Then I hit a vintage game store and picked up a bunch of games. Best decision. 🥹🎮

Kirby before he had a color! That sounds like a ton of fun. The original Gameboy has the perfect amount of chonk! Was a rechargeable battery mod part of the deal?

Enjoy yours! They look great 👍

such a fun sounding side trip!!

What! That’s incredibly cool. Would love to find a workshop like that for some of my old handhelds.

Nah, just a new case, buttons, and screen. For the advance I also added the light strip.
