Game Boy Works: F-1 Race (it's a doozy)
Added 2018-05-28 20:21:33 +0000 UTCI'm back from my travels, and back in [Game Boy Works] action.
Leading off my return engagement here we have a pretty huge episode — not necessarily in terms of length, but certainly in terms of legwork. This look at F-1 Race and the Four-Player Adapter brings together a lot of threads that I've been pursuing over the past few months (as you'll see from some of the video and photo inclusions here).
While the 4PA ended up not being that big a deal in the grand scheme of Nintendo's existence, it has a pretty interesting story behind it, and I tried to source as much in the way of info and personal experiences as I could for the sake of this piece. Enjoy!

Nice job; I really appreciate the work on the provenance of the 4-P adapter; that seems like exactly the sort of information that easily could have been lost to time not too long from now.
