Interesting Gameboy Camera Photos


Ah... The Gameboy Camera... A must-have for every Gameboy owner of the 90's. There are actually many interesting (and fuzzy) photos taken with the Gameboy Camera, some even ahead of their time. Let's take a look...
1. Taking Selfies Before It Was Cool
These guys were pioneers...


                                                               2. Scenery Snapshots
                          Who knew such fuzzy, black-and-white pictures could be so beautiful?

                                                         3. Pervert Photographs
                                               Gameboy porn... Apparently it's a thing.



7 Strange Gameboy Accesories

Here are the top 7 strangest Gameboy accessories I've ever encountered...
                                                                7. Gameboy Pocket Sonar
             Used for locating fish underwater. Yes. In the pond. It came with a fishing minigame to play when you got bored of  not catching any actual fish.
                                                                    6. Workboy
Allowed you to plug your Gameboy into a keyboard and do actual work on it with a calculator, address book, and more. For those who couldn't afford a real computer in 1992.
                                                           5. Gameboy Four Player Adapter
                                         For playing the two or three games that required four players.
                                                              4. PetiSedate
To calm down kids who needed to be medically sedated in the doctor's office... To be honest, I have no idea what Nintendo was thinking on this one...
                                                              3. Handy Boy
Am all-in-one gadget for the Gameboy. Speaker magnification, screen magnification, replacement of the D-pad with a joystick (Why?)... Sadly, it didn't add the main thing the Gameboy needed: A backlit sceen...
                                                            2. Mobile Adapter GB
Yes, Nintendo was one of the first to try to let you play games on your phone.... But mostly it was using the phone's antenna to connect to a wireless network so you could play multiplayer games. (However, the entire concept was ahead of its time, and the service soon shut down.)

                                                     1. Gameboy Radio
Basically, it was a radio that plugged into your Gameboy and used it as a power source. The Gameboy didn't even know it was there... It just plugged in and sucked extra power from your Gameboy like an electronic vampire, so the batteries wore out twice as quickly. But at least it let you listen to fuzzy AM stations...
