Okay, so "Frommer's Personal Organizer" is basically the weirdest, most charming relic of the Game Boy era—a productivity app disguised as a game cartridge. You boot it up, and suddenly your chunky gray brick is a digital planner with calendars, contacts, and to-do lists. The menus are pure 90s simplicity: blocky text, beepy navigation sounds, and that satisfying click of the D-pad.

I’ll be honest, I laughed when I first saw it. Who thought, "You know what gamers need? Spreadsheets!" But there’s something oddly satisfying about typing in birthdays with the Game Boy’s mushy buttons or scribbling notes in pixelated shorthand. It’s like using a Tamagotchi for adulting.

If you’re into retro oddities or just love the idea of organizing your life on hardware designed for Pokémon battles, this thing is a time capsule worth digging up. Just don’t expect it to sync with your iCloud.
