Did you know the Game Boy had a sewing machine peripheral?

Post by J T »

I just read about this on Kotaku:
http://kotaku.com/5800606/this-might-be ... -ever-made

This is a cool idea. Too bad it's too strange to ever really take off.

Oh, and try putting #totalrecall in the search engine for Kotaku. There are a bunch of great retro stories in that series.

Luke has done some business with a company that sells knitting/sewing supplies. He should get in on this.

Yeah, I've known about this for years. It was in an EGM issue around the year 2000.
