It doesn't take 1.21 Gigawatts to go into the Future anymore!!! Why wait for the next big portable console? You don't need VR to experience things never before seen! With just a few extra modifications to the flux capacitor, you won't even need a MR. Fusion... PRESENTING THE FUTUREBOY! The Most Advanced Gameboy to date! By taking alien tech from the year 2085 and disguising it in a commonly seen household game casing, you are no longer limited to small LCD's, or hooking up to a giant TV to view your games. With a push of a button The Futureboy shoots Hi-Tek Lazer LEDs right out of the game cartridge! Who knew it was THAT EASY!?!? With Nobble's One-of-a-Kind Futureboy you can project any game, on any surface, at any time! The whole case lights up like a UFO at night with the perfect universal number of 42 Neopixel RGB LEDs. Don't forget your towels! And if that's not enough, watch this video that explains it all! I hope I can get the support from the people of this site and the community of all makers, modders, hackers, DIY-enthuseists alike to help vote for my entry. I have had so much help and support thus far from the community, and my official sponsor Kitschbent LLC. It's been lots of fun! Good luck to everyone! It will sure be interesting competition from all of your projects! Anyways, thanks for checking out my build entry! I hope you enjoy what is to come of THE FUTURE (BOY)!!!

    Who is that sexy Future MAN?

    Neat little project. I like the Bill n Ted-like dream that "inspired" the FutureBoy. Clever use of TBHS video bits and adding your own flare. Well done!

    Thanks makerkaren I really enjoyed making and filming this! My love for 80s movies and futuristic tech really became a core of my project. I'm glad you got the reference from fibbef and his awesome Gameboy…

    Last minute presentation for the office and the projector is already rented out!? No worries, I've got a Futureboy with me! We could have the meeting at a coffee shop!

    Totally.  Especially if you're dealing with a split screen.

     

    Something like that you could come up with all sorts of novel uses.

    Yup that was my whole idea. It's nice to be able to play on a bigger screen, but not always readily available. Also it could be considered a cordless display setup for on-the-go use.

    Very cool!

     

    Solves the need for screen space when dealing with limited form factor!
