About this deal

The Nintendo Game Boy DMG-001 is the original Game Boy, first released in 1989. The model name DMG stands for Dot Matrix Game. The display is a 2.5-inch reflective monochrome LCD with a resolution of 160 x 144 pixels , and it has no backlight, so it works best in good ambient light. It runs on four AA batteries and can also be used with an AC adapter. The console features a built-in speaker, a D-pad, A and B face buttons, and Start and Select buttons, plus side dials to adjust volume and screen contrast. This listing is a Japanese market unit sold as-is, meaning it is intended for parts or repair rather than guaranteed working use. Most original Game Boys are now over 30 years old and it is completely normal for them to have faults, with common issues including vertical lines on the LCD ribbon cable. The DMG-001 is considered one of the most moddable handhelds ever made , making faulty units popular with retro repair enthusiasts and collectors looking for a project or a source of spare components.
