COLLECTION INVENTORY
S9000
The Top Boy is a giant of a Game Boy accessory that swallows the console whole. It is very similar to the Konami Hyperboy but appears to be unlicensed, with no maker named on the device.
Powerful stereo speakers, a magnifier, front lights and an arcade stick turn the Game Boy into a small arcade machine, powered by two D batteries. The collection also holds the Konami Hyperboy and the Saitek BoosterBoy, the other accessories of this arcade type.

LS8141/E
The PowerBase is a docking station for the Game Boy combined with a rechargeable battery system. The pack fits directly into the battery compartment in place of AA cells, and the set includes a mains adapter and a charging base that recharges the pack at home or powers the console directly. An LED shows the charge status, and the base has room for up to four cartridges. The packaging quotes about ten hours of play per charge.
Made under the Gamester LMP brand, the PowerBase was a commercial failure and was produced in limited numbers, which makes it a scarce item today. The simpler LMP Power Pack is also in the collection.

The earlier Handy Power I, a quick-charge external pack, is also catalogued in the collection.

The Game Boy was built tough, but its display was always the weak point, and a bad knock could finish it. This tempered-glass screen protector sticks onto the display and guards it against scratches and cracks.
It is one of several screen-care items in the collection, alongside replacement lenses and decorative screen covers.
