* MadeOfIndestructium: Game Boys are extremely durable and capable of taking considerable damage. One Game Boy, currently on display at the Nintendo New York store, had its outer shell fried to a crisp in a Gulf War bombing, and is still able to play a game of ''Tetris''! Fan lore jokingly holds that Nintendo constructed them from [[UnObtanium a nearly-indestructable material]] called "Nintendium." Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to the actual screen bezel, which is very easy to scuff up and scratch, and can leave distracting shadows and glares on the screen in daylight. (Insult to injury: thirty-plus years on, the glue holding many of them in place has dried out, causing them to simply fall off.)

* The Four Player Adapter: A hub that plugged into one player's Game Boy and allowed up to three additional Link Cables to be plugged into it for four-player play. Unfortunately, this accessory never took off, as fewer than 20 games supported the Four Player Adapter. The Game Boy Pocket wasn't compatible with it without an adapter, and Platform/GameBoyColor games outright didn't support more than two players. Four-player multiplayer on a handheld would not be fully realized until the Platform/GameBoyAdvance.
