Zelda Airbrushed Gameboy Color - The ASSEMblergames.com message board

Tenchi · 12-31-2008

Here I'm again :D

Well, I think one year ago I've got my Zelda Airbrushed Gameboy Color.

Like you see at the picture, this is some professional doing and with a lot of details.

Well the seller told me, that this Gameboy Color was a price of a lottery from a popular videogame magazine.

But my question now is, from WHICH magazine? Does anybody know and can help me^^

Because a lot of people are asking me where I've got this Gameboy color and I always say froma collector...

I hope this is the right topic o.o

i don't know where it's from but it sure looks awesome.

Barc0de · 12-31-2008

i wouldnt care if i were you, it's a marvelous piece of hardware in its own right.

Tenchi · 12-31-2008

I know its very cool. but I really want to know it for me not for others but I think it was the price from a Nintendo Club Magazine...

retro · 12-31-2008

Could you at least tell us the country this magazine would have been sold in? I'm imagining the same country the seller was from....

Tenchi · 12-31-2008

puh somewhere in Europe. I think Germany/Austria.

Seller was from Germany

retro · 12-31-2008

Sorry, I can't help you there, then. Ask some Germans! hehe.

It is a lovely machine, though! I certainly wouldn't want to use it for fear I'd destroy the artwork! Still, it is great just to look at, even!

Tenchi · 12-31-2008

hehe well it could also be from a french, belgium, english, spain, italian etc etc magazine. But I think the German ones have more special lotteries ^^

btw I'm not playing with it, I'm just having it in my showcase ^^

so everybody please help me to find the magazine. If you are from Germany look in your old Nintendo Club magizines, I think I have seen this gameboy there o0

WindowsKiller · 01-01-2009

If it was Germany, then chances are high that it was done by Rachu (http://www.top-airbrush.de) as commissional work for the magazine that gave it away as a price. That of course means that it's not an official edition. Looks great anyway, and I'd recommend asking Rachu if they did it, and if so, how many units were made.

Tenchi · 01-01-2009

thanks! I've sent them an E-Mail :) Well, I've found their references. There is also Nintendo & Co. Well If they have made this one, why isn't it on the site? Well let's wait for the answer ^^

Tenchi · 01-07-2009

hm.. haven't got a answer yet...

but someone told me, that this GBC was in a Nintendo Club magazine (German one?!?). Maybe someone here can look in the old magazines for me please ^^

Bjoern · 01-07-2009

Holy shit.. this GBC is really really cool :)

I am a big Zelda fan.. and this thing is fantastic :)

Tenchi · 01-10-2009

yeah you're right.

but man I haven't got any information about it yet -.- But a lot of hints.

This gameboy must be older than 4 years....^^ and thats all I know XD

Tenchi · 04-22-2009

someone told me that this gameboy is from the german videogame magazine "BRAVO Screenfun".
Has anybody old magazines of "BRAVO Screenfun" so that I can prove it ^^'??

thanks

This was featured in N64 Magazine a good few years back, in an article with other gameboy related art.

RichieCStar · 04-25-2009

do you guys know whether all of the airbrushed console from that german company were prizes in competition or just those featured in the press materials on their site?

There is a german website about old videogame magazines at www.kultpower.de
They don't have the Bravo Screenfun scanned, but you could ask on their forums. Many german people speak English.
There is also a german blog about german video game magazines at http://www.magaziniac.de

Tenchi · 05-06-2009

thank you :)

well I don't care if they can speak english or not, because I'm from Austria :)

I'll ask them.
