The Game Boy Color arrived in 1998 and finally brought color to Nintendo’s handheld, showing up to 56 colors at once while still playing the entire Game Boy library. Pokémon Gold and Silver, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe made it the soundtrack of countless car rides and sleepovers, and its bright, playful shells became a symbol of late-90s childhood.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER
Each piece is built from a real pre-owned device, so light scratches or small signs of age may show. We think they are part of its story.
03 / From the workbench
Made by hand in Los Angeles.
Behind the glass is something you rarely get to see: the inside of a Game Boy Color that once lived in someone’s hands, backpack or living room. Our studio members spend hours on each piece, from disassembly and cleaning to designing the layout and producing the final frame, all by hand in Los Angeles. We grew up with these devices, and every build is our way of giving a beloved piece of gaming history a second life.
