I built that Lego Game Boy — and now it’s even better.

I built one to personally confirm its excellence. But Lever wasn’t done: his new v7 instructions lets the D-pad move, the contrast knob spin, and reduces the bill of materials. Enough to justify opening mine up again, I’d say. Oh, BTW... he’s now got Lego Game Boy Color MOCs too! Check one out at the end of my gallery below.

A real Game Boy for comparison.

It nearly fits real cartridges! (Lever has some brick-built ones, too.)

A bit thicker than the real deal — but I love that the buttons are hats.

Lever’s new instructions now use three 2x6 lime tiles instead of a 6x6 one. Easier to find.

Interchangeable “screens” for various “games.”

What it looks like without a “game” installed.

Lever only uses official Lego stickers to emulate the Nintendo ones. One’s from the Aston Martin DB5 set, the other from the Lego NES, I believe.
