what kind of attachments/ peripherals did the nes, snes, and gameboy have .. ?
i have noticed all among the year(s) sitting and reading thru the thread(s) that they have had a good amount of unusual attachment(s)/ peripheral(s)
just wondering at what other item(s) did these three system(s) have ( nintendo, super nintendo, and the game boy )... ?

I do know that the SNES had a lovely peripheral set under the Exertainment series!
I've always thought this was pretty cool.
What's the going rate on one of these?

Hot seat for nes.
I came across this at my local shop. Dude wouldn't sell it though. It's a mechanical turbo. You roll it on the wheels on the back side of the dock to actuate the levers to rapidly press the buttons.
I LOVE THIS! That's my type of turbo.
And here is a "handy" item from my personal collection. I had one of these as a kid and since I most often played my Game Boy on my bunk bed where it was shaded by the top bunk, this thing stayed on my Game Boy. I never used the little joystick attachment. That thing was awful. The speakers, magnifier and light were great, though.

I think there were 2 Game Boy sewing machines in Japan. USA only got the Singer Izek. I have 2 of those.
Sew weird.

Ah, the monstrosity that was the Handy Boy. What great name though.
Never saw this one during it's lifetime, but had to buy it when I found out about it. Still need to get the Genesis version as well.
never seen the SNES one but found the Genesis one for like 4 bucks. pretty wild you have the box for it
A doofus friend snapped the PCB on my copy of Killer Instinct by horse playing around the SNES while the game was sticking out of the XBAND.
XBAND also was the only way to get the corner cut copy of Doom to allow you to pick which campaign to play and to save if I remember right.
I remember a level select menu patched in by the XBAND. There was also a level select cheat in the game but I think it just skipped when you entered the cheat (no menu). That was a weird experience because the other player would seem to be looking right at you and you'd run for cover only to see him walk away, completely unaware. That's because the game didn't have multiple angles for the sprites. Same for the enemies in single player but they pretty much always saw you.
Still got my XBAND manual around somewhere. What I'd REALLY love to get my hands on is the XBAND keyboard.
