Video game historian and Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson has uncovered the long-lost peripheral and unreleased device known as the WorkBoy. The WorkBoy – for those that don’t know – was an add-on for the Game Boy that turned Nintendo’s famous handheld device into a PDA – essentially a small personal computer.
Robertson has gone above and beyond to share the story of the WorkBoy and his own experiences with it. A trademark for this peripheral was first registered in 1992. It was designed by Source Research and Development in the UK, while a start-up company called Fabtek in the US planned to produce it in close collaboration with Nintendo.
You can get the full history of this unique Game Boy accessory in the video above. It’s definitely worth a look!
