The Super Game Boy is an adapter that plays Game Boy games on a TV through the Super Nintendo. A complete Game Boy mainboard sits inside the cartridge and passes the picture to the SNES, which converts the greyscale image to colour using palettes the player can adjust.
This is the Japanese version. The US and European versions, and the revised Super Game Boy 2, are also catalogued in the collection.
