===Super Game Boy===
The '''[[gametech:Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]]''' was a peripheral designed to play Game Boy and black Game Boy Color cartridges on the Super Nintendo through the cartridge slot, just like a typical SNES game. The Super Game Boy uses a special version of the Game Boy hardware to allow for ''Super Game Boy enhanced'' Game Boy games to operate its otherwise hidden features, such as colorization and improved sound by way of the SNES's more sophisticated sound hardware.
