GameBook Cover - I meant to say GameBook Color

I have a page to my site about it. Could you tell what you think? I think they are kinda interesting, well mainly because I created them, but uh take a look.

If this was a couple of years ago, I'd say to look into getting a real prototype made up of the N64 controller. Has potential (see: MadCatz's RetroCon PS2 controller).

The work on the custom controller is sloppy, although I'll have to assume it's not finished. The GameBook Color, however, is very stylish. What you should had done was cut out grooves for the actual buttons themselves, and glued the pages together.

Also, you're missing start and select. However, I may have to try this one day out of pure boredom.

I fixed the title for you Anyway, here is my thoughts on your creations. I like the idea of the Gamebook. I have done a couple of GBC mods myself, but I shorted out my unit on accident The N64 needs some work. It does not look very comfortable to use, maybe you could design a case from a SNES controller to make it work? I bet that you could, you can even take all yellow trigger buttons off a Japanese SFC controller to make the C buttons SNES style ^^;

Well didn't you look at the picture of what it might look like?

Like I said on my site, I am gonna try to make it look like a SNES controller. Also the Z button will be on the back side of the controller. The prototype of N64 controller was just something I kinda slopped together. Anyway thanks for liking my GameBook Color. I was in school and got bored when we had to read for 15 min. So I made it. I would have like to have a professional look to it, like cut in the pages. If you could see the side of the book I had to take a scissors and cut from the side.

I think a sort of exacto knife can cut right through the middle. I did see that diagram but it was a drawing, that was why I recomended the SFC controller If you actualy do make a case for it, I would love to see it. These little projects really interest me.

What I did was an NES PC. Maybe you're thinking of someone else.

By the way, those are NOT recent shots. I don't have a HDD for it anymore, and I have a slim CD-RW drive for it now. Yeah, that's about it.

Cymoro, that's really cool! I like the idea of building a pc out of an NES case. I am curious though, how did you get all of those big parts to fit in with the case closed?

Hey, thanks for posting the correct link. I was updating my site yesterday, and I changed some things and I forgot to post the new link here but you did it anyway.

I saw that a little while ago and i thought how awsome it could be if he got a bunch of people to make copies of the gamebook color.

Mr. Nintendo, I'm asking this nicely please don't bump old threads. This one is over 2 months old. This is the first time I mentioned this to you.
