Game Boy

Like the Nuby Amplifier, the Sunsoft Sound Boy set out to fix the Game Boy's single mono speaker, which never matched the stereo sound many games were written in.

Sunsoft, better known as a game developer, plugged the unit into the headphone socket that carried the native stereo signal and added a built-in amplifier for a fuller sound. This is the 1993 Japanese release; the very similar Nuby Amplifier from the US is also in the collection.
