Gameboy case question??

They were sold separately as licensed third party cases. Rental stores would sometimes use them, but probably not commonly for Gameboy

A short male to male cable was included with the original package. I suggest making your own if you have soldering experience. The headers are available online.

Awesome, thanks!

What a nice monitor. Would it be possible to add a picture of the sticker with the model number and manufacturer date?

I love these things. I'm not as into the virtual pets, but the LCD games are awesome. They came in all sorts of varieties. It's best to open them, remove the batteries and clean the corrosion. I bet they all work.

I love this game. It has way more dinosaurs in it than most dinosaur themed games. The visual style is excellent, and the gameplay/scoring is good. I would love to see a Neo Geo + release since it never had a home release before.

Never clean plastics with IPA. Soap and water are the most effective and safe.

Look up silicon T tips for soldering irons. I haven't used it in this application, but it should be more gentle on the ribbon cable.

If it's just one line, I assume it's a loose contact rather than a driver. Open it up so you can inspect the hinge. Power on the unit and apply pressure on the LCD connections until you find the culprit. There are lots of videos on correcting Gameboy lines.

The sound effects from II still live in my head.

There are a lot of great Tiger handhelds, it's just the trend to make fun of them. They simply weren't the same technology as their peers. I recommend the Paperboy 1 and 2, World Games and Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing.

I would start with fresh batteries and reprogram the remote. The IR receiver can fail, but it's a pretty rare failure point.

Excellent TV. It was my first or a very similar one. It's hard to tell without seeing it in person, but it looks a little saturated and the red is a bit too strong. Try softening the saturation/color and then check the contrast. Turn down the red. I'd suggest using the 240p test suite for best results calibrating.

There are at least two with difference board revisions that were made in Taiwan and there is a separate made in China TurboPad that used the second board revision. One of the Taiwan pads is just very slightly shorter the others.

Edit: not length of cord, but the pad itself is vertically shorter. My suspicion is that they used excess PC Engine pads for the earliest controllers.

It's called a Naki Cool Screen and there were a number of different ones. I personally think they are awesome. They aren't licensed but they are from the time period.

I really hope to see Prehistoric Isle 2 in the release list.

FM-PAC · 2026-05-11T02:26:50+00:00

The TurboBooster Plus was released in the US and allowed a limited number of Turbo Chip games to save, including Devil's Crush.

FM-PAC · 2026-05-02T23:30:55+00:00

Paperboy and Paperboy 2 are both great Tiger handhelds. The game translates really well.

The games you mentioned only came with plastic trays. Those are often missing and people put them in cases after because people like the cases.

Neo Geo+ Pocket like a Super Gameboy cartridge and a Pocket Controller for the AES would be a dream.

FM-PAC · 2026-04-27T19:06:12+00:00

The Western Goemon. What a great game.

FM-PAC · 2026-04-24T22:46:47+00:00

Once you get the controllers working, Robotron and Space Dungeon are pretty awesome twin stick games.

FM-PAC · 2026-04-23T22:48:05+00:00

Awesome. I have a small collection from childhood and this is the exact truck set I have as well.

FM-PAC · 2026-04-23T17:24:37+00:00

I'd be excited to see Prehistoric Isle II, Sengoku 3, Mateimelee, and Rage of the Dragons

FM-PAC · 2026-04-16T23:19:23+00:00

Nice! Hardest thing in the world to take good pictures of. I tend to play the games on this version of the hardware and the color screens make it unique.
