Remember how when you were a kid, your parents would see you playing video games for hours and force you to go outside and "get some fresh air," whatever that meant? Remember how you would then sneak down into the sewers and pretend you were playing Sewer Shark? Remember that? Uh, you have no idea what we're talking about, do you? Great, now we look like a bunch of weirdos.
Now that our whole intro is shot, we'll get right to the point: Ben Heckendorn has used his Frankenstein-like ability to create new life from old, defunct consoles to make handheld console out of the Sega CDX, making the dream of subterranean Sewer Shark possible. As you can see in the image above, it's quite small -- the portable taps an old camcorder battery for power, a gutted Genesis pad for the controls and a four-inch LCD screen for the display. It's an impressive mod (as the majority of Ben Heck's work is), whose creation is documented in the video just past the break.

i dont know but i wish if he had that much of a brain he will make something great since the laptop console ive not seen anything new thats not been done already
-
ya i agree. it's clear he has skills and access to make anything he wants why not do something good... not that this isn't good but really he could do so much more

he really doesn't have time the past year he made his pinball machine from scratch wrotehis own codes for it mechanics of parts everything. On top of that is constantly doing projects for other people. He charges like 3,000 for a 360 laptop plus 120 an hour. He is also working on other projects that he hasn't posted. I really don't see how he has time to do anything else, that's alot. He grew up in that generation so to him that was cool. Atari is his favorite thing in the whole world. He talks about that alot in his book and blogs. Plus its something that hasn't been done. He does new and old. Something I can say that I still want to do, but sadly money only allows me one different console a year.
