If you’re the sort of player who likes playing handheld games on a full-size TV screen, the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player are probably prized parts of your collection. However, there is a way to play Game Boy games through your N64 - but as the rough construction here might suggest, it wasn’t aimed at regular customers. Intelligent Systems’ Wide-Boy 64 cartridges were made exclusively for sale to business customers, such as developers and the press, so that games could be tested and displayed on TV sets. The Wide-Boy 64 CGB was the first model introduced, intended to replicate a Game Boy Color, but the Wide-Boy 64 AGB we show here is capable of playing Game Boy Advance games.
