Nintendo - DMG-01 - Original Game Boy - Video game console - Without original box

The original Game Boy handheld game console, released by Nintendo in 1989, is a landmark product in the history of portable gaming devices. Design: Featuring a classic green casing, the front features a dot-matrix screen with "DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND" above it, indicating its dot-matrix display technology and stereo sound capabilities. The control panel includes a cross-directional pad, A and B function buttons, and "SELECT" and "START" buttons for easy control. The side features a volume control lever, a headphone jack, and ports for connecting external devices. The back houses a battery compartment, which accepts four AA batteries. Performance: It had 8KB of working RAM and 8KB of video memory. Games were loaded via cartridges. Popular Game Boy titles at the time included "Tetris" and "Super Mario Land." Although its hardware performance was limited by modern standards, its ability to play games on the go quickly earned it a global following. Market Impact: The original Game Boy was a huge commercial success, with global sales reaching hundreds of millions of units. It not only established Nintendo's success in the portable gaming space, but also laid the foundation for the basic operating methods and form factors of modern handheld game consoles, profoundly influencing the development of numerous subsequent handheld and mobile gaming devices. It is a classic in gaming history, still collected and cherished by many gamers. Note: The screen has a halo caused by aging polarizers, and there is a missing vertical line on the right side. There are no leaks, the condition is old, there is sound, and the volume can be adjusted. 08 motherboard, the battery compartment has a rusted spring, but it works normally with batteries installed, and the buttons function normally. Single console.
