Did you know that you can turn your Game Boy Color into a TV Remote, and it'll only cost you around $5 or so?

Thanks to Mission: Impossible for GBC and a secret contained within, you can make your old (compatible) Game Boy a programmable remote - no programming knowledge needed!

Also, this is the second time on Stuff We Play where we're playing around with the GBC IR Sensor, so this video is also a chance for me to look at some of the games I missed in my first video on it!

Addendum: I have since found out there was a Game Boy Advance game in Japan that came with its own IR Sensor peripheral. Maybe that'd be worth doing a dedicated video on some time, if you would be interested and if I can find a copy?
