WorkBoy Long Lost Nintendo Game Boy Accessory Discovered

Carl Williams writes, "The WorkBoy is a curiosity of accessories. This device was intended to fill a gap between gaming devices and computers.

That would limit what you could do with the WorkBoy quite a bit. At least one working unit has survived all these years."

Never heard of this accessory. Who knew.

It was apparently only mentioned in a short article in an older Nintendo Power and shown briefly on British television (probably a tech show). Other than that, it was never mentioned which is why none of us knew about it till now.

Quake Demake Is only 13 Kilobytes in Size

triverse writes, "When you think of demakes you probably think of newer games on older hardware. Probably because that is how they occur more often. Another type of demake is made for the same platform just a different graphics style (many remakes offer this option at the flick of a button). What if I told you someone made Quake, but it is only 13 kilobytes in size. For comparison that is about one quarter the size of the original Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The kicker is, this version of Quake looks amazing, and everything explodes into gibs everywhere."
