Lol.. I was born in 1979... I don't remember the exact year but I'm more than sure to have had two classic gameboy.
If i remeber it's cost aroud 150.000 Lire :)

The first gameboy after a fall from a table I suffered a breakdown of the liquid crystals and after some months i buy my second gameboy.... then lost over the years :(

several years later I won a gameboy color with an Italian coca-cola contest (you need to found somethigs under the cap.....
I have also a little memories about the pocket version but in this case i don't remember to much....

I just know that nowadays I don't find myself anything.....
I also remember i have a lot of GIG Tiger.... on my childhood collection i have a lot of elettronics games like:
1 Tomy Volleyball
1 Gakken Soccer
and many many other..... all lost :(

The only handheld i have on my hand it's a perfect working "Mario Cement Factory"....

then excuse me if i'm going a little OT but I like to remember those years every now and then :)

@YFZdude
I had his cable link of classic gameboy... but I don't have big memories of its use. Probably nothing in particular to remain etched in my memory after several years ....

Just in case you thought your project was too small…
