On this day in 1989, the Nintendo Game Boy was first released. This is my original, fully working, unmodified DMG-01, that I keep safely in this case that I love.

    @Gammitin I have the same case. That thing traveled all over with me. 💕

    @Gammitin Nice! I also still have my original, but it’s in far far worse shape than yours 😅 It’s currently on display on my son’s bookshelf

    @Gammitin back in the day when the game was the game. No switching or lowering of the difficulty levels.

    @Gammitin sadly, I threw mine away when the screen broke. We didn't know back then, we thought newer was better...

    @Gammitin I also keep mine unmodified. I have a second one, bought second hand a long time ago, that I installed an IPS mod on, but I regret it, it introduces lag (for real: I died on the first level of Super Mario Land, can you imagine?) I’ll probably regret it and install a backlight in the original display instead. But I also have to fix the vertical lines and the D-pad (I replaced the membrane, but now it has crosstalk.)
