Gamer Revives 1984 Sony Watchman as Game Boy Color

Masaki Crafts successfully transformed a broken 1984 Sony Watchman into a functional Game Boy Color. The modified device features a cartridge slot, HDMI TV output, headphone jack, and a link cable port, along with an SNES controller port for HDMI use, although only four of the six buttons on the Game Boy Color are utilized. The Sony Watchman had previously introduced a color LCD model, the FDL-310, in 1990, followed by the ergonomically designed FDL-22 in 1998.

Yousiff

I’m Yousiff Taqi, born in ’87, and I’ve been a huge fan of retro games for as long as I can remember. My favorites are RPGs, Platformers, and Action Adventure. I’ve been interested in computers ever since I was young, which is why I pursued a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Now, armed with my passion for both retro gaming and computer engineering, I’m excited to embark on new adventures in the world of technology, where I hope to merge my interests and make meaningful contributions.
