Popular punk rock outfit Green Day and art studio Brain are celebrating 30 years of Dookie in a very interesting way. The effort, titled Dookie Demastered, takes a new perspective on his 15 hits. It includes a Game Boy cartridge that plays one of the band's best-known singles, "Welcome to Paradise."

Yes, that's right. There is a fully playable Game Boy cartridge that takes the player to a small apartment in Oakland, California. Players must search the apartment for the record in order to play a full 8-bit version of "Welcome to Paradise." The cartridge costs $39 and is limited to only 25. It is compatible with the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. The purchase does not include the console, so players will need to pick up one of the three Game Boy systems listed above in order to play the cartridge.
Each song has its own unique item associated with it. The quantities of each item, as well as the price, vary depending on the item. Here is the full list of limited edition Dookie Demastered songs:
