Video game historian and Nintendo Life contributor Liam Robertson has discovered the lost and unreleased peripheral device known as the WorkBoy. The WorkBoy, for those who 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 beyond sharing the history 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 an emerging company called Fabtek in the United States planned to produce it in close collaboration with Nintendo.
