About the Nintendo Game Boy

Nintendo’s original Game Boy (model DMG-01) launched in North America in July 1989. It runs on four AA batteries and has a green-tinted, unlit screen. Check the battery compartment for corrosion and the screen for dead lines.

What affects the price

  • Screen condition: scratches, dead pixels and dark lines.
  • Battery compartment corrosion (AA models) or battery life (rechargeable models).
  • Hinges on clamshell models, and the charger included.
  • Aftermarket screens and shells change the value, so modded units are left out of this guide.
