Tetris DX for Game Boy: Custom Motherboard

Description

This is a full-color printed custom motherboard for the game Tetris DX for Game Boy. You can use it to customize your original Tetris DX, which may have lost its battery since it was released in 1998 and may have a damaged or rusted circuit. Additionally, as you can see in the photos, this new circuit will give an incredible look to your Tetris DX. Remember to use a transparent Game Boy or Game Boy Color shell to display it in all its splendor.

⁽¹⁾ Remember to purchase the shell for the circuit. It’s up to your discretion whether to use the one for Game Boy or Game Boy Color; both are compatible.

⁽²⁾ This could be optional. If necessary, it serves to reduce the side tabs that the circuit has. This depends on how faithful the shell is to the original; the tabs prevent the circuit from wobbling or shifting from side to side. If the circuit doesn’t fit into the shell, you’ll need to file the tabs slightly.
