The Ridiculously Long Game Boy

One YouTuber had the courage to ask the kind of questions that society is too afraid to, like: What if the OG Game Boy but longer?

On his channel The Retro Future, Elliot Coll took the original ‘89 Game Boy (commonly referred to by its model number, DMG-01) and expanded on its already chunky shell design to make it roughly the size of a five-dollar footlong. During the video, after putting in the Game Boy’s similarly massive test cartridge, he compared it to holding one of those tennis racket peripherals for the Wii Remote.
