When I gifted an Anbernic to my 8 year old cousin for her birthday, my grandma wanted a “gameboy” too so that she could play Tetris.
I saved this Gameboy Color from the crusher; my uncle runs an electronics recycling side gig. No idea how he managed to get his hands on this since he usually sources his e-waste from businesses.
The games I have for my grandma are: Tetris DX, Mario’s Picross, Pokemon Yellow, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX. She has only played Tetris before, but I know she’ll like picross and I’m really hoping I can get her into Pokemon.

- Shell: FunnyPlaying Game Boy Color 2.0 Laminated Q5 IPS Ready Shell (Light Blue)

P.S. Yes, I plan on peeling off the plastic on the screen haha. I’m waiting until I give it to her.
I’m equally interested in your uncle’s side hustle.
He does a bunch of chemistry to recover gold, platinum, and other metals from electronics. He made a gold nugget that he’s named “Steven”.
