Available only in
Japan, the Gameboy pocket Sonar was a
device designed for
fishermen who also happened to play
Gameboy. The device consisted of a gameboy
cartridge to which was attached a reasonable length lead, at the end of which was a
cylindrical object, that just so happened to be the
sonar itself. The user would
dangle the sonar in the
water where they expected to find
fish. The sonar would
emit a sonar
frequency, and the gameboy
screen would show what was found, including
locations of fish. They could then
cast their
line and hope for a
catch. Besides being a
ridiculous substitute for a real
fishfinder, the Gameboy pocket sonar also made for a great
conversation piece.
