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 :)

That screen doesn’t look right unless you messed your console with some new acreen

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.

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!

Played yellow when I was younger, never got around to blue or red. Added to the list :)

Parts: Replacement screen+front PCB https://funnyplaying.com/products/dmg-retro-pixel-ips-lcd-kit

Alignment bracket: (the link above came with a bracket even though it said it wouldn’t) https://funnyplaying.com/products/dmg-retro-pixel-ips-lcd-holder
