    [12:40] schestowitz[TR2]

    This alarm clock is pretty versatile and can be either a stationary device or made portable with the ability to receive power from batterieslike the original Game Boy DMG. It has a speaker inside that replaces the original and plays audio files for the alarm. The sprites at the bottom randomly change each minute.
