Nintendo's handheld Game Boy and Game Boy Color were progressive at the hour of their introduction during the 1980s and 1990s. This is thanks partially to their lower cost and longer battery life when contrasted with different gadgets of the time. This progressive soul was reached out to additional items for the gadgets, and presently an at last rejected thought for an extra has been found in the wake of being left well enough alone for over twenty years.


In the mid 1990s, an extra for the Game Boy called WorkBoy was created by Source Research and Development. This multifunctional console add-on expected to bring some type of a Personal Digital Assistant to Nintendo's gaming console. However models for the WorkBoy were made, this gadget never come to the market since it was viewed as excessively dangerous of a speculation whenever it was found that Nintendo was wanting to drop the cost of their Game Boy console. Eventually, Nintendo's WorkBoy add-on was racked in 1993. Notwithstanding, the thought intrigued creator Eddie Gill such a lot of that he chose to make his own rendition of a Game Boy add-on in the soul of the WorkBoy.


YouTuber DidYouKnowGaming? posted another video itemizing the fascinating history of the dropped Game Boy Color add-on called the PageBoy. Gill drew up plans for a Game Boy Color add-on based around the possibility of correspondence in 1997. This extra empowered Game Boy clients to have remote admittance to capacities like email, web perusing, and photograph informing. The utilization of these applications was refined through radio waves with comparable frequencies utilized by two-way pagers. In light of this likeness, the extra was initiated PageBoy. Wizard, the gathering that fostered the PageBoy, tested out the plan to Nintendo in 1999. The PageBoy permitted clients to in any case play Game Boy Color's games in light of the fact that the extra squeezed into the Game Boy Color's cartridge space. However its head highlight was two-way informing, different capacities included admittance to world news and climate and a kind of early form of Nintendo Direct referred to Game Boy as "Live TV."

Seeing as there were no savvy duplex remote information networks covering Europe and Japan in the last part of the 1990s and mid 2000s, the PageBoy would reasonably be accessible just to North America. This reality conflicted with both Nintendo and the PageBoy's center allure: the way that a gadget ought to be generally accessible. With a limitation on business sectors, the PageBoy couldn't do the gigantic local area association Wizard and Nintendo imagined. Consequently the PageBoy was forever racked in 2002.


However Nintendo at last racked the PageBoy, a significant number of its ideas were subsequently joined into gadgets consistently.
