Here's a skin deep mod for an original gameboy completed with a Pro Sound Mod audio output. I like the pitted look around the screen and the various flexible piping. I have considered making a wood case gameboy in the past with steel bands like some kind of oddly shaped barrel; perhaps I should.
Mr. Gimmick is a Famicom game by Sunsoft; released only in Japan and Scandinavia. Recently 1up blog retronauts featured a four part utube video on the rare game. An interesting side scroller you might want to look around for on the internet even if it's just to play it on an emulator.
