The Only Issue is that there is just 1 line of Pixels that are not working behind the Screen. The Screen Itself is in Great Shape for it's age and doesn't look like it was used much.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Nintendo Game Boy Pocket Black. Working Good using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the handheld consoles category. Nintendo's handheld consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
