[/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=teal]As for the link, there is something in today's society that we like to call a political cartoon. This is as such. It most likely shows the relationship of the GameBoy to the people, saying that it has had such a great influence. As for the attachment, that's just a tall, and very well made I might add, paper mache model of a GameBoy. It could have been used as an advertisement back when it was first released. Was it part of a commercail? Maybe, but there is one thing for sure. There is no such thing as a three foot tall GameBoy. The GB was made for portable use, and I wouldn't exactly call [i]that[/i] portable, heh.[/COLOR] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of "know-it-all" that doesn't even think to check out the gameman link before opening up your big mouth? While this project can be seen as a response to society and culture today, I can tell you that it is NOT "just a tall, and very well made" paper model. It has NOT been around since the GameBoy was first released, and it was NEVER part of a commercial. It is in fact, very real, very heavy, and very usable. So before you go dismissing this project as just some political cartoon, I invite you to come pick up all 100 pounds of it (108 if you add the cartridge) and take a look at the craftsmanship and skill that went into creating it.

RicoTranzrig Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Hey, watch the flaming... As for the oversized gameboy...it is very possible for nintendo to create...IMO: just attach a super gameboy to a SNES, which is attached to a fairly small flat screen TV, alter the control input pad to accept the buttons on the outside, cover with durable plastic, color... and Voila! The 3 foot gameboy... But purely just for show at some video game convention obviously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 It's be great to own one of those... :drunk: It'd be pretty hard to make one, though as mentioned, it's quite possible. I just think that if they put them out on the market, I'm not sure if people would buy it or not..... I know if I had the money, I'd buy one.... :D Though I doubt, if it is real, it'll go out on the market.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=teal]Excuse me? Did you just register yourself under a different name than whoever you are just to flame me? Sorry, I don't like to "argue" over message boards, so maybe we could do this another time. I did indeed look at the link carefully, and gave my insight on it. If I can't do that, in your standards, then what is the point of a message board? We are here to discuss our own opinions to a topic, and thus I gave my own. It seems like you own one of these GameBoys yourself, for you are making the judgement that it is neither made of paper, nor is light, which I cannot tell just by looking over the image. Did you weigh it yourself? I congratulate you, and would like to say that you take a great notion to art. I must recommend that you would do great when posting in the Art/ Design forum, other than critisizing a member here. Perhaps you should learn the rules of this message board before you come back and make more of a fool out of yourself. Thank you. Anyway, it seems that I have drifted off-topic. I agree with what RicoTranzrig about it being used in a video game convention, though it would have probably been hard to play with bottons so big. Ah, well, that's if it exists at all.

[/B][/QUOTE] Why would they make 8 pound cartridges? If this really is a playable game boy, i'm sure they would have fake cartridges that aren't so heavy, and have a place to put in the regular game boy games. Of corse, only if it [I]acctualy [/I] is a working game boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuja Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 [SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]hmmmmm this thread is closed ;) now as for that thing... it probably isnt real... the gameboy is PORTABLE lol they may make something like it for a home console kinda like the super gameboy... but i doubt it... that is a waste of resources they wouldnt sell enuff of them for a profit... and if it is 3 feet and weighs 100 pounds o.o something is wrong my monitor on top of my hardrive is over 3 feet and it isnt 100 pounds... hell most of the stuff i carry at target is 6X3X1 and isnt 100 pounds... so um yea... lasereyes hope u dont have another name ill be checking ;)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
