SoCal GameBoy started as a hobby in February 2021 due to our love of Game Boys. We have been selling locally and on ebay and have moved to online sales. We enjoy purchasing and bringing new life to our childhood classic games and experiencing them with modern additions like IPS screens.
We offer a limited 10 day warranty on all our builds. We open all builds, clean them, and replace damaged parts. Although not common, the warranty is limited to correcting defects due to the modding process.
Please note, we specialize in retro handheld consoles which are 20+ years old. Warranties are void if the console has been opened, if there are spills, sand, or have been obviously mistreated.
Tenadore, aka Tendy, is the face of SoCalGameBoy!
