Instructions for a do-it-yourself Lego Gameboy

Translation: machine translated
Lego and Nintendo are a love story that has already produced several sets. A Lego Gameboy has been missing until now. Now a resourceful hobbyist has taken matters into his own hands.
Anyone who has ever looked for a Lego Gameboy has always been left in the dark. Because Lego does not sell an official Gameboy set. Nick Lever now wants to remedy this: The model of the cult handheld developed by him consists of a total of 354 parts. The instructions for four game cartridges are included. As with the original, these can be inserted with a satisfying "click". The directional pad can also be used.

Down to the smallest detail
"Lego is expensive, so I tried to make this construction as slim and cost-effective as possible," writes the inventor on his website. The result is impressive. Details such as the small wheel for adjusting the volume or the small status LED on the left-hand edge of the screen are built in true to the original. For a donation of 5 US dollars, you can get the instructions here.

The model has neither Lego's nor Nintendo's blessing. That's why you should grab it quickly before the instructions disappear. Both companies are known to be very active in protecting their trademark rights, for example when it comes to Switch hackers or protecting the clamp brick design.
To that end, Lever writes in the fine print: "And if you're reading this, Nintendo, please don't sue me (I don't have any money anyway)."
The official Nintendo and Lego collaboration is still available to buy. On the one hand, a variety of Lego Mario sets. On the other, the NES complete with tube screen.

Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
