How to Remove Game Boy & Game Boy Color Cartridges (No Screwdriver Needed)

Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges use a spring-loaded locking mechanism, not screws. Here's how to safely eject them:

1. Locate the Release Tab: Small tab on the top or bottom edge of the cartridge (opposite the label).
2. Press the Tab: Use a fingernail or flat tool (like a butter knife) to press down firmly. You'll feel a click and the cartridge will pop up slightly.
3. Pull Gently: Grasp the cartridge edges and pull straight out.

Important: Never force it. If it resists, re-check the tab alignment. Forcing can damage the console's cartridge slot.
