If you had a super nintendo it was the same cord. Just like the game gear used the genesis cord.
But they never designed AC cords with the regular game boy. Which still makes me mad. NES or SNES power cord, and I'd have been happy as a kid....
Was it? The one I remember clipped onto the back of the controller in place of the battery box. Or did it have a power port on the unit itself ?(it's been forever lol)
My OG Game Boy had a 6v DC input on the side. My off-brand rechargeable pack for it plugged in there instead of clipping into the battery compartment.
There was an official Nintendo Battery Pack for the Gameboy that used that side input, too. It plugged in with the same 2-prong cord that my sister's mini boom box used.
