Video game history and Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson discovered the peripheral and unreleased device long known as WorkBoy. WorkBoy – for those who don’t know – was a supplement for Game Boy that turned the famous Nintendo portable device into a PDA – essentially a small personal computer.
Robertson went beyond and shared the story of the WorkBoy and his own experiences. A trademark for this peripheral was first registered in 1992. It was designed by Source Research and Development in the United Kingdom, while a start-up company called Fabtek from the USA intended to produce it in close collaboration with Nintendo.
