    My 67 year old mom’s got a new rebuilt and improved Game Boy Colour. She wanted a switch, but dear lord watching her try to operate mine…so I was like hey what about a new Game Boy, there’s people on Etsy that rebuild them. She’s happier than a pig on shit, and I don’t have to answer endless support calls + she’s got a super sized library to work through from my old Game Boy games. Will have to check this out to see if I can get her one of these.

      This is such a fantastic idea! The gameboy was such an amazing system and it’s so awesome to see it still being appreciated and even games on it being experienced for the first time by newcomers. My father was wanting to get into gaming as well but one of his main gripes was “there’s too many buttons to learn” I think I might just get him a gameboy! Idk why I didn’t consider that before thank you so much for the idea!
