      @dover – I’m really not sure what point you are trying to make nor am I sure who’s parade you think you might be raining upon. I am aware of the Arvo Bros’ Gameboy. In fact, we blogged it when it was made, back in 2007.

      This the Gameboy’s 20th anniversary year. This particular creation was a tribute. The Arvos’ GB was better, but the Arvos’ stuff usually is. The point of this particular post was the Wico Controller. The GB was an aside.

      @dover – Yup. We blogged that when it was made, back in 2007. I’m not really sure where you are going. Can you explain?
