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, whose battery has long since died or whose original PCB has become damaged or corroded.

Additionally, as you can see in the photos, this new circuit will give an incredible look to your Tetris DX. Pair it with a transparent Game Boy or Game Boy Color shell to show off the artwork.
