Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Online purchases under SAR 1,000 including shipping are free of customs duty, but Saudi VAT of 15% applies; from SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added. SPL collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout. At checkout you enter the short address of your National Address.
On your console in Saudi Arabia: Works in Saudi Arabia: this Game Boy runs on batteries and has no region lock, so Japanese, European and US games all play on it.
Saudi Arabia is outside the EU. Online purchases worth less than SAR 1,000 in total, shipping included, are free of customs duty — but Saudi VAT of 15% still applies, sometimes with a small customs service fee from ZATCA. From SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added on top. SPL collects it before delivery; it is not included in the price at checkout. SPL delivers to your National Address, which is why checkout asks for your short address (4 letters and 4 digits, e.g. RRRD2929). You pay in euros — Credit card or PayPal. Mollie does not process Saudi riyals; on the product page, in your cart and at checkout you see the approximate total in riyals, and your card converts the euro amount at its own rate.
Why does shipping abroad cost this much?
Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — €4.40, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the €35.95 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.
That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.
Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product
Game Boy Classic — Transparent — original Nintendo retro, personally checked.
The see-through version belongs to the "Play It Loud!" range of 1995, the first coloured shells of the original Game Boy — through the transparent plastic you can see the circuit board.
Powered on and tested before shipping: screen, buttons and charging checked. Condition: see the photos of this exact unit — technically flawless.
The Game Boy / Color came out in 1989: monochrome screen, AA batteries and 8-bit classics — the console that defined handheld gaming. On original hardware the whole library runs the way it was meant to — no emulator stutter, no input lag.
Who is this for? Players who want to relive the retro era, parents passing their childhood on to their kids, and collectors completing their Game Boy / Color collection.
Works in Saudi Arabia: this Game Boy runs on batteries and has no region lock, so Japanese, European and US games all play on it. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.
Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to Saudi Arabia: from €53.95; Saudi VAT (15%) is collected on delivery, customs duty only from SAR 1,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?
For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.
- Does it work?
- Here: Screen, buttons, battery compartment and ports checked — exactly what’s included is listed with the item.
- Private seller: ‘Works fine’ — you find out at home.
- Is it original?
- Here: Shell and circuit board inspected; a replaced shell or screen is stated honestly.
- Private seller: A replaced screen or shell is rarely mentioned.
- If it disappoints?
- Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.
- Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
- Who’s behind it?

- Private seller: Varies per listing.
Why you still remember this
The little box that went everywhere with you
Heavy in your coat pocket, four batteries in the back, and a contrast wheel you kept adjusting. It came on holiday, to your gran’s, to the hospital — and it survived everything you dropped.
One copy, this copy. Nintendo stopped making them more than twenty years ago. Every working console you still see is one somebody kept.

What we see with Game Boy / Color consoles
Our experience
With a second-hand console, the difference rarely lies in the electronics and almost always in what you see and feel: the screen, the buttons and the battery compartment. Those are exactly the points we check on every device before it is shipped.
Our tip
With a second-hand handheld, look above all at the screen and the battery contacts — buttons can still be replaced later, a screen is a lot harder.

About Game Boy / Color
Game Boy / Color cartridges are compatible with both the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Color. They use colour on GBC hardware but also work (in black and white) on the original Game Boy. That gives maximum flexibility to players with both consoles.
- Dual-compatible — works on the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color.
- Popular titles: Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal, Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
- Recognisable by the black cartridge shell — grey is Game Boy-only, clear is Colour-only.
- The cartridge itself does not wear out; only the coin cell for the save can be flat after 25+ years, and it can be replaced.
Our tip: These cartridges also fit in the Game Boy Advance and GBA SP (backwards compatible), which makes them one of the most flexible cartridge types.
