Manufacturer description
Gameboy has been tested and works, it does have cosmetic wear and scratches on the screen…cartridge is in rough shape but does work, I had to put it about 90% of the way into the system to get it booted up, it wouldn’t play when it was 100% in there Works with 2 AA batteries (not included) I took a lot of pictures so please check them all out and if you have any questions, just ask!
