Does fake Gameboy exist ?

Hi, I have a question for the real geek in you. Does fake Gameboy exist ? I have two different Gameboy in my hands, check the pictures and help me.

On the first and second pics, you can't tell if it is true or fake.

The fake is of far greater value, in it’s deliberate attempt to be 'real', it’s more real than the real thing.

But on this one, you can see that the sticker is cheaper on the fake one.

I've heard that if you shove the gameboy up your ass, you should be able to tell the difference

On this one, the fake one have not the same strews and the numbre on the board is not the same.

oups, forget the pics

Finally, writing is bigger on the real one. Have you ever heard about fake Gameboy ?

or maybe they just came out of different product lines

Yeah, i think you're just retarded, OP.

If anything, the first one looks like a very early production model, maybe even a late prototype? It'd make sense to me. The 06-board version looks like it just fine-tuned some small details from the 05-board. Perhaps a better sticker (though it's entirely possible someone just ripped off the first one), switched to the still-in-use tri-wing screws, made the text on the back of the casing a little bolder to avoid manufacturing issues.

...Yeah. I'm pretty sure you're just retarded, OP.

Honestly that doesn't look like a fake. More like made a month later with different quality ABS plastic, resulting in small differences.

But if you want to make sure, you should open it up and check if it uses Nintendo labelled chips, or generic ones or glob tops.

Look, I love old Nintendo things, but why the fuck does it matter? So long as it works.

BTW, that isn't a fake.

Okay, thank you guys. You are awesome

what are hardware revisions?

>not knowing about hardware revisions

the one on the left looks bigger

that gameboy also has philips "+" screws, and the text is similarly close to the frame as yours

either your "fake" is very common or it isn't one, don't know

...

Older revisions of the Game Boy definitely used Philips head screws, and there were a couple different types of serial number stickers (some of the Play it Loud ones have a barcode). Console hardware revisions happen all the time and they're pretty much all documented somewhere on the internet.

Those aren't Philips screws; they're JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard).

Look again, the fake one doesn't use the shitty nintendo proprietary screws

And that proves what? It's a 20 year old used hardware, the screw could have been replaced by anyone. And other Gameboys are known to come with the cross screws as well, so that alone proves nothing.
