The curator of the unofficial "Game Boy Museum" has finished work on the its newest attraction, a database of the exhibition's entire itinerary, squeezed down to the size of a Game Boy cart itself.

The project is the work of Dr. Marcel Pflug, who has been curating the Game Boy Museum over the past 25 years. The site is dedicated to the enduring legacy of Nintendo's best-selling handheld, first released in the spring of 1989. Dr. Pflug's collection currently contains over 360 catalogued items, including iterations of the original DMG-001 console itself, as well as games, accessories, print media, and other assorted curios.

Dr. Pflug has curated a database of the museum's collection that runs on original Game Boy hardware, featuring short write-ups on each and every item, as well as a built-in search engine, and even a selection of useful guides on topics such as Game Boy history or how to spot bootleg cartridges.

One feature, which Dr. Pflug notes as his proudest accomplishment, displays QR codes for each item which, when scanned by a phone's camera, will direct the phone to the item's page on the Game Boy Museum website.

Pflug notes his work as being "A museum object that is itself a museum; A format from 1994, drawn by a PC, shown on hardware from 1989, read by a phone from today."

The Game Boy Museum is available as a free ROM for Game Boy emulators, and is compatible with original Game Boy hardware. It should be noted, if it wasn't already obvious, that the ROM doesn't actually contain any playable games, but is more of a self-fulfilling database. A curation of a curation, if you will.

If you would rather go straight to the source, then the Game Boy Museum contains all of the information featured in this pocket-sized version, complete with a library of photographs of Dr. Pflug's incredible collection, serving as a wonderful tribute to a legendary platform that, for so many, will always be the automatic psychological association with the phrase "handheld gaming".
