Super Game Boy

The Super Game Boy (スーパーゲームボーイ Sūpā Gēmu Bōi) is a peripheral that allows Game Boy cartridges to be played on a Super Nintendo Entertainment System console. Released in June 1994, it retailed for $59.99 in the United States and £49.99 in the United Kingdom.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Play Game Boy games on TV... in living color!
 * 2) The adaptor could support up to 64 colors for the border, and 12 colors for the screen.
 * 3) It is possible for Super Game Boy games to make use of the Super NES hardware for extra effects, as demonstrated in Donkey Kong and Kirby's Dream Land 2; these games had expanded sound when used with the Super Game Boy.
 * 4) Static screens could display all 10 colors.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unlike the sequel installments in the Color Game Boy series, this isn't portable.
