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)
- Mobo & Speaker: Stock
P.S. Yes, I plan on peeling off the plastic on the screen haha. I’m waiting until I give it to her.
My grandma used to play the shit out of Dr Mario on her game boy.
My grandma said that she didn’t think the depression was all that bad since she had hand squeezed orange juice from one of her 3 servants everyday. She had zero interest in any videogames my brother and i played.
Anyway, currently trying to beat the heat because my tiny apartment a block away from where she grew up doesn’t have AC. Miss you grandma, but i sure wish the family haberdashery stayed successful past the 60"s.
