Just ran across this and have been stuck thinking about how this would have affected the development of gaming, PDAs, laptops, and cell phones. If there was ever any doubt, I think we can now rest assured that this is an inferior timeline after having learned about the WorkBoy.

The gameboy was basically running a z80 so definitely capable of some serious work.
