We’ve reached a point where the pocket-size device you use to communicate happens to run games far more advanced than the ones old gaming units did. And while that can’t be debated, it doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a bit of nostalgia. Hyperkin is delivering a dose with the Smart Boy. The device, which is currently in development, will slip onto your iPhone and allow you to actually play those old Game Boy cartridges. So, while we’re aware your iPhone can run a billion versions of Tetris more stylish than the original, the Smart Boy will take you back to playing in the rear seat of your mom’s station wagon.
