A guy over at nesforums is in the process of building a huge NES to use as an entertainment center. Check out my RB write-up on it..... http://www.retroblast.com/newsitem.php?cid=2550 |

That's awesome. Too bad that once he puts the TV and stuff in, all it will do is show a blinking blue screen.

I'm sure someone here can help him with at least plans for building the controllers, right? Also, since he's got the shell built already, why not go ahead and mod it with a PC with a sliding CD ROM tray? use it for MAME and other emulators  |

Sweet. NES controllers were indestructible. I broke someone's nose with one once. My friend's dog chewed on one for a month once, then we used it to play Tecmo Bowl. We found one in the park that had been outside all winter and used it to play Ninja Gaiden.

It won't truly look like an NES controller until it has teeth marks in it.

I guess you would have to stick the NES Advantage in the corner and use it as a stripper pole/platform.

I love the tiny little casters. They really don't look up to the task  . How in the name of god would that thing ever be moved into a house? Imagine trying to get it around a corner. And, if I'm not mistaken, a standard doorway is 6' 7", while that monster is 8' wide. Is it modular? |

He needs to talk to the Attack of the Show guys.  Fully functional, if a bit hard to operate alone. |

Not to poop on this as Triumph would, but, um. . . what's the point? Is it functional in any way? Looks like a lot of great, high-quality work for something that'll just sit in the garage since it seems to serve no purpose other than to look at.  : Again, not flaming at all - it's great. But *what's it do* is my question! Eh, maybe G4 will buy it for $5k. |

I think the best use for it would be to clime inside and let it roll down the streets of San Francisco. Imagine some World's Craziest Police Chases-style footage of the thing flying through the streets and intersections and pinballing off parked cars. Just think of the headlines:
Nintendo Crashes through City
Giant NES Terrorizes Bay Area
3 Dead and 22 Injured in Videogame Attack

Giant Nintendo Terrorizes Bay Area No... non-fact checking idiot media would probably use a more attention grabbing headline like; Super Nintendo Terrorizes Bay Area (okay so I paraphrased a bit) |
