This game came with my hand-me-down DMG I got for my birthday back in 2001. Thankfully I never made it to the final level back then, pretty sure I would’ve tossed the game out the window after losing 50+ lives. Looking for what I should play next, recommendations welcome :)
Haha yes definitely not original. I put an IPS screen in it over Christmas. Gave me the push I needed to revisit the GB library on semi-official hardware.
That looks amazing!!! Pokémon Red next?
Ps: tutorial for that screen update?
Played yellow when I was younger, never got around to blue or red. Added to the list :)

Good luck :)
If you have a way to load Roms into it, you may want to to try ShinPokéRed. A mod fixing bugs and trainer Ai.
Yep I have a flashcart. I’ll def give it a look before I start Red version!
Saving that screen link for later. I cannot imagine how great that must look in the old girl.
Oh it’s night and day. It’s really made me appreciate the DMG library. It has a dot matrix mode that emulates the grid of the OEM screen. I flip back and forth from time to time.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

When I was a kid I bought one of these weird magnifying lens/lighting attachments for my game boy so I could play it when I was supposed to be asleep. I know what you did somehow desecrates the historical hardware but if I had the opportunity to get that mod in 1990 then I would’ve done whatever I could to afford that backlit screen!
