Toyko, Japan-based artist 3liter fake Game Boy cartridges are like a blast from the past.
Fusing new technology with the old, 3liter's fake Game Boy catridges delivers reimagined repurposed games to 8-bit nerds who enjoy the retro look of old school games. Ranging from YouTube to Skype to Sound Cloud and iOS, these 'games' are available for regular Game Boy as well as Game Boy Advanced and Game Boy Color.
Artist 3liter does more than slap stickers on an old cartridge. The new cartridges not only serve as a reminder of the once and still legendary portable console, they're also a fantastic inspiration to create some of the wildest wackiest fusions of old and new your mind can imagine, and that's not restricted to games only.
