Original Play-It-Loud GB Mod!!!!

[retro junkie]

Some years ago, I am not sure how long it has been, there was a Peddler's Mall locally. For those who don't know, it was sort-of an indoor flea market, or garage sale, sort-of place. It had multiple tables set up with booths for vendors to sell their stuff (junk). Most of it looked like someone cleaned out their attic, basement, garage, etc. On one of those tables I saw this old 1989 Nintendo Gameboy (Play-it-loud series) marked $1.50. I had to get it.
This old gameboy was plagued by that original sweet pea green screen. It was hideous to play unless you had perfect light. It was best played outside in the bright sunlight. But it was the most popular game system of its day. It dominated the market selling an estimated 118.69 million units. From 1989 to 2003 it was the affordable, heavily supported game system to own.
A week ago I saw a kit online to upgrade this console with a backlit screen for a reasonable price. BOOM!! I got it and had a few minutes today and did this upgrade. These things are good for puzzle games to keep the old brain thinking. And solitaire,I like playing solitaire on these things. After this upgrade it is now worth about $100 on eBay.
