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."

    Uh, I don't know what you're on, but the Xbox controller is enormous. Think Dreamcast controller, only bigger. And I wouldn't call the N64 the best controller out of the last bunch, you couldn't even access the analog stick and the D-pad at the same time. It was a three-handed design, which worked okay I guess, but I was more fond of the PSX controller (which, to be fair, was a modified SNES controller with an extra shoulder button and, later, analog sticks.) I will agree that Nintendo makes some damn durable products though, my original gameboy STILL works. As do most of my SNES games, even after my house flooded and most of them swam in sewer water.
