    Imagine if you will, a time before non-bricky cellphones and modern video games. It was time of Game Boy, and the various accessories Nintendo tried to pair with the first truly portable handheld system. Who could forget such extras as the Game Boy Printer, Game Boy Camera, and the card scanner for the Game Boy Advanced? One additional product though, seems even more ahead of it’s time, the WorkBoy.

    Feast your eyes on one of the lost Game Boy add ons recently rediscovered by Liam Robertson (‘game historian’), the Game Boy WorkBoy keyboard.

    According to Robertson’s most recent episode of Game History Secrets on YouTube channel DidYouKnowGaming, this particular add on hasn’t been seen in 28 years. Mostly because it was never actually released.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
