And You Thought The Xbox Controller Was Big

Created as an art design project, the GameMan is a fully working, life-size, replica of an original Nintendo GameBoy. It is made from the guts of an old computer and a new flat-panel monitor. The creator has detailed its creation both in pictures and in this development journal."

That weird, I was always was told "life size" means as big as it is in life. A life size game boy is around five inches by two inches if memory serves. But who am I to nitpick.

The Game Boy is the world's best-selling video game system, with over 100 million units shipped. The original Game Boy was released in 1989, which gave players the freedom to play their favorite games no matter how far they traveled from home. Games like Super Mario Land and Tetris proved that quality games could be developed for portable use, and an instant army of loyal fans was formed. The Game Boy has been improved in design and technology three times, each time blending technological triumphs with state-of-the-art designs in portability. Each time it has been redesigned it has been fit into a tighter and more compact package and grown progressively smaller.

However, in today's modern world of "bigger is better" mentalities, the Game Boy is unable to satisfy the desires of the entire populus. Gamers are already accustomed to their oversized Ford Excursions and Biggie Fries. They need something just as huge to satisfy their need to have the biggest and baddest portable gaming experience possible.

Enter the Game Man.
It's Big.
It's Bad.
It's Heavy.
It's over 3 feet tall and it's totally in your face.

Get ready for the most heart-pounding portable video game experience of your life. Get ready for the Game Man. Are you man enough for it?

Might want to re-think the name...

Try saying "GameMan" out loud, and I guarantee it will sound somewhat like "Gay Man".

It brings up all kinds of odd-sounding phrases like: "Sorry ladies, don't have the time, I'm going home to play with my Gay Man."

(No offense to gay people of course.)
