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.

P.S. Yes, I plan on peeling off the plastic on the screen haha. I’m waiting until I give it to her.
They’re still out in the wild, and still work much of the time.
I just picked up an R36S, and I can’t begin to say how much 80s and 90s nostalgia I’m enjoying.
