NINTENDO GAMEBOY COLOUR
Launched in Japan on October 21, 1998, the Gameboy Colour is the third best selling console ever produced, with over 100 million sold worldwide.
Approaching the Gameboy with a new and modern approach and contrasting against the, as some would call it, 'retro' handheld console, this project shows a juxtaposition of early 2000's technology, brought to life through 21st century means.
Not only has the exterior of the console been modelled from mechanical and technical drawings, the inside shell, PCB components and motherboard have also been fully realised through the use of modelling, photoscans, reference imagery and custom designed assets – this attention to detail has led to arguably one the most accurate and detailed model of a Gameboy Colour on the internet.

Thank you!
I kinda never want to see a Gameboy Colour ever again ;)
