atari 2600 + sega game gear = atari gear 2600 portable (flag)

technabob.com — Casemodders have implanted the brains of the Atari 2600 into all sorts of strange host bodies over the years, but this is the first time I’ve seen this particular permutation. Modder Chris Koopa (with a name like that, I’m shocked he hasn’t done any Nintendo mods) melded ...

Atari 2600 Crammed Into SEGA Game Gear
Tech Blog — ... "melded the shell of old SEGA Game Gear portable with the guts of an Atari 2600 to create this Frankenstein's Monster of a gaming system, dubbed the Atari Gear 2600."

Damn AA batteries! Hey, at least there’s no terrorist propaganda involved with this mod. Link [ via ]

Atari 2600 stuffed into Game Gear, Sega Nomad seen casting envious glances
Engadget — ... of life for Sega back in the mid-90s. Modder Chris Koopa has achieved the impossible by stuffing an Atari 2600 (or the important parts, anyway) along with 40 games into a hacked up Game Gear and enabling it to operate for nearly a full workday with just five AA batteries.
