Remember that weird little cartridge that let you play Game Boy games on your SNES? The Super Game Boy was basically magic back in '94—you'd pop in your old Game Boy cartridges and suddenly they were on your TV, with colors (sometimes questionable ones, but still).

It wasn't just a passthrough either—the SNES handled the visuals while the cartridge itself had all the Game Boy hardware inside. Kinda blew my mind as a kid, even if some games ended up looking like they'd been colored in with highlighters.

Still, being able to play Pokémon or Link's Awakening on the big screen felt like cheating the system. The Super Game Boy was basically the original Switch dock, just way chunkier.
