It was the 90's, I was a teenager. I could not be separated from my Gameboy. If you lived through the days before you could save a game, then pat yourself on the back. Also, backlights? We didn't need them! We'd rather fork out for a clip-on light so we could keep gaming through the night. Or until the 4xAAs ran out. Good times.

So you could imagine my surprise when I was going through my parents' "junk" and found this again. There was a cartridge still in it! TETRIS!!! My life was complete again. The battery terminals were a tad fuzzy, but after a clean up the famous Nintendo logo dropped into view.

Shooting this, on the other hand, turned out to be a nightmare. The screen was only visible from certain angles. Also, the refresh rate meant that using a flash would only guarantee a fraction of the display.

I ended up shooting the Gameboy with Danbo, then shooting the screen head-on separately. Using Photoshop I could then superimpose the screen's image onto the picture above. It came out surprisingly well!

Now excuse me, I'm off to watch Beavis and Butthead.
