I just finished my GBA mod. Atomic purple re-shell, IPS laminated backlit screen, and USB-C rechargeable battery. 🔥
Let me know if y’all want a restored or modded game boy. 👀
Retro Blast@retroblastpod.com · last wk.It's NATIONAL GAMING HAND-HELD DAY! What, you didn't know?? Of course you didn't, because I just made it up! But I've declared it now, so just lean into it. Of the six main model releases of the Nintendo Game Boy, what's the one you have the most fondness for? Which one is 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 Game Boy?
I bought two “as-is” Game Boys. One has horizontal lines on the screen (the worst kind), and the other had so much battery acid corrosion it has eaten away the bottom part of the motherboard, including the trace connecting one of the battery terminals. Wish me luck fixing these. 😅

After several attempts trying to calm Epona down in Twilight Princess and using the shield to deflect, I now see why people prefer the GameCube version over the Wii version. These controls are brutal. 😩
My haul from a retro fest today. I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts. 😅
More shameless promotion: I also have an OG Game Boy, a PSOne, and a lot of PS3 games. Links in thread. 🧵
Daniel 🎮@poordanrichard.com · 4w agoShameless promotion: I'm selling two NES consoles that I've restored. Both come with controllers, accessories, and a game. Links in thread. 🧵
I have a stressful week ahead, so of course I’m stressing about how I should relax and prepare today. 😅
#ThrowbackThursday Also in 2016. My wife and I at The Louvre (hoping she doesn’t mind me posting a pic of her 😂).

I've been so proud of myself for making good progress in The Legend of Zelda. Last night, I reached the 6th dungeon and died three times in a row. So there's my reality check. NES games, man.
Inspired to learn Japanese so I can play SNES games from Japan on their original carts.

I finally beat Ganon. Surely he’ll be locked away for a long time…
Has anyone played this? It was in my brother's PS2 collection, and it apparently sells for quite a bit.
I’m really hoping the PS news doesn’t impact the price of retro games. 😅
Mid-2026 #promosky Hi! I’m Daniel. I like old and new games alike, mainly focusing on RPGs and action-adventure. My favs include: 👾 Chrono Trigger 👾 Earthbound 👾 The Witcher III 👾 Dragon Age 👾 Horizon 👾 Mass Effect 👾 Cyberpunk 2077 👾 BOTW/TOTK I also tinker and play music 🎵
Date yourself with a photo of your first ever computer. The Macintosh Performa. My brother got it for his birthday in 1994. I remember playing Number Crunchers and Warcraft on it. I also remember he used the AOL Online cd to get his "free" hours, but it charged my parents long distance fees. 😅
Why pay $80 for a new game when you can spend double that for a used one released over 30 years ago?
I’ve always wanted a tattoo but I’ve been too indecisive on what I want. I think if I get one though, it’s going to be Chrono Trigger related. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions? 👀😂
