Instructions for a do-it-yourself Lego Gameboy

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

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.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. 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.
