A Game Boy Color almost as big as its builder

Gamepro introduces a tinkerer and Nintendo fan who has built himself a Game Boy Color that's almost as big as he is. The special part: The giant handheld is not just a display piece, but actually playable.

According to the magazine, Pokémon is running on the screen. The tinkerer reportedly builds oversized Game Boys on a regular basis, but the current project is apparently the highlight so far for him.

The tinkerer is convinced: "Nothing will ever top this"

The tinkerer himself is convinced he has set a record with his device. "Nothing will ever top this," he's quoted in the headline of the Gamepro report. The superlative "largest GBC in the world" is, however, explicitly presented by the magazine as the tinkerer's own statement — independent evidence for this record is missing from the available report.

Nothing will ever top this

Exactly how the oversized Game Boy Color works technically, what its dimensions are, and what material it was built from does not emerge from the short report. What's clear is: Anyone who has always wanted to play Pokémon in XXL format at least gets the template here — and a tinkerer who takes his hobby to the extreme.
