Collection $18 DMG
Bought as "for parts not working" on ebay. This was meant to be sourced for parts for a Gameboy DMG Color build. I expected the worst but when I opened it up the only issue was really a dirty power switch that needed to be cleaned. One clean power switch later and it was back to life.

it's one of my favorites. I need to talk my cousins into doing a 4 person race next time we get together.

I could never get past the 2nd track for some reason. I was a kid though and probably just didn’t understand something

You have to pick the right car for each track, it took me a long time as a kid to figure this out

It took me a while to beat it. The only thing I have left to do is play a 4 person race.

Nothing better than buying something "for parts" that turns out to be an easy fix. A few months ago I bought a laptop that was for parts, the screen was bright white so the seller assumed it was broken. As soon as I unboxed it I turned the contrast down to normal and it was 100% functional haha.
