Nintendo Game Boy DMG Link Cable Port

Proprietary 6-pin link cable port on the original Nintendo Game Boy (DMG-001, 1989). Carries serial data for two-player connectivity. Physically wider than the Game Boy Pocket / Color link port — older DMG link cables do not fit later Game Boys without an adapter.
