Game Boy Modding at Four Quarters

Grab a beer, and spend an evening building your very own custom Game Boy Colour.

This hands-on workshop is for anyone who loves retro gaming, nostalgia, tinkering, or simply wants to try something different. Inspired by the Game Boy modding workshops of Akihabara, this London experience brings the same spirit of creativity and retro tech culture to Four Quarters Pub.

You will explore the history of handheld gaming, try out a range of modded retro consoles (including Nintendo, Game Gear and modern Retro Consoles), and then build a fully working Game Boy Colour customised to your own style. Choose your shell colour, button colours, and finishing touches, then assemble your console with step-by-step guidance.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own custom-built Game Boy Colour, ready to play, including one game to take home with you.
