The "GameBoy to NES" adapter, developed by Biederman Design
Labs for Camerica, is similar in appearance to a standard NES
cartridge, except for the inclusion of a game port recessed into
the top of the game pak, replacing the area usually sporting the
game sticker/logo. Little is known about the device, though it
supposedly gave players "the chance to display small screen games
on the TV like magazines do with expensive items called
WideBoys." It was not released, possibly due to legal action on
part of Nintendo, or an unreasonable consumer price point.

Hah, scratch that, should've looked closer. That would be the Wide Boy, not the Gameboy to NES adapter...

Looks like vaporware. Google doesn't turn up anything aside from that one article from Electronic Gaming #23, so not much probably came from it.
