    I always wanted one of those Booster thingies - I saw it announced on magazines from the States.

    Am I dreaming or hallucinating, or was there another accessory that turned the original Game Boy into a table top shaped like an arcade machine?

    I sort of recall something of the kind, but it might be old age and early morning playing tricks on me.

    I remembered something like that too, and a little Googling revealed that it wasn't imagined: the Konami Hyperboy was a thing like that, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were other similar ones: http://www.rfgeneration.com/news/game-boy/Konami-Hyper-Boy-1535.php

    The whole point of the gameboy was to move away from the consoles. Then these accessories manufacturers come along and make it a home console. xD

    Just like the famicom, wasn't there a computer keyboard made for GB?

    Honestly, I always thought it would be cool to track down the sewing machine. I do actually sew too, so it isn't a complete waste of money. Guess there hasn't been a dump yet of the applique ROM ;*)
