    Warning! A huge videogame controller is coming.

    Check out these images,
    this object is not CG, but a real video game controller.

    This "Extreme-style console controller" is made by Takamasa Sumi,
    for "The 3rd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 2005" at the Fukuoka Asia Art Museum.

    Height : 2.2m (6.5 feet)
    Full length:3.4m (11 feet)
    Weight: over 50kg (110 pounds)
    Material : FRP, steel , Mazor color, Sega Saturn with Light gun controller,
    TV monitor and "Death Crimson software".

    You can get more information from a flash movie on this website.
    http://www.tetusinman.com/fusigi_haku_web/
    (The movie is subtitled in English.)

    "Huge Crimson" in Japanese

    Fine-arts solid modeling studio ARTREK : Takamasa Sumi's works

    This videogame controller is inspired by the CULT Videogame,
    "Death Crimson" for SegaSaturn by Ecole Software. http://www.e56.info/
    ( Look at the top of the controller, where a SegaSaturn is embedded! )
    "Death Crimson" had once been known as the worst "KUSO-GAME (crappy game)" ever made.
    It scored 1.0909 out of 10 (10 being perfect) on the "first week" user's review on SegaSaturn Magazine,
    which was the lowest score ever recorded in the users' review.

    However, after years of being at the bottom,
    "Death Crimson" is now a CULT FAVORITE (just like Ed Wood's movies).
    The original "Death Crimson" videogame regularly sells for $80 or more in Akihabara.
    Finally , Ecole Software had to reprint the game to help satisfy the demands.
    http://www.planetps2.com/mmcafe/soup_03-15-01.html
    The reprint version of "Death Crimson" sold out in a matter of weeks after it was released.

    "Sekkaku dakara ... " (With much trouble, though... ) become a common catch-phrase for
    Japanese videogamers, similar to the "All your base are belong to us" sensation that
    Zero Wing had on the US several years ago.
    The before day of last day of the exhibition, Takamasa Sumi and Mr.Manabe (the president of Ecole Software)
    discussed from the perspective of the "post-modern art world, videogame and fan community".

    This mammoth controller and mad game console is now going to be shipped to the EU
    for Art Exhibition in C21, from 11 February to 9 April 2006 (maybe)
    - a year-long cultural and community arts event in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire, UK.

    The huge controller is one hundred percent functional, but the only game you can play
    with it is "Death Crimson" because the game disc is locked in with quick-drying glue,
    and no way to remove it.

    P.S.
    The first time you play Death Crimson, you can expect to survive for under 30 seconds, literally.

    I like the model, but the paint job on that Saturn is class.

    For a minute, I thought it was a Panzer Dragoon controller. ^_^;;

    Damn, that's sweet. I dig the paint job.

    Oh my God ! I'm going to Fukuoka on Sunday if my cold dies down !! I'm so glad I saw this post before I go. A must place to visit while I'm there !!

    By the way, yes, Death Crimson is F*cking SHIT ! When I first saw it many years ago I though someone had pressed a really crappy home brew game on to my disc !! The game really is that bad and VERY HARD !! I managed to get to the 3rd level. Death Crimson 2 on the Dreamcast is also crap but Death Crimson OX (Arcade & Dreamcast) is actually pretty good.

    Sweet controller but that tiny TV looks like it would throw the whole experience off. Definitely needs a projector.

    Nice, A Maziora Saturn to go with the Maziora DC.

    To be honest they should really pay you the entrance fee if you have the guts to play Death Crimson.

    ^True :lol:

    Coincidentally I got a demo of Death Crimson 2 (DC) in today. It's pretty good actually. (well at least 100x better than D.C 1)

    I would think your wife would have a problem with that... :110:

    Seems like a waste of a perfectly good saturn to force it to play nothing but Death Crimson... Poor saturn...

    And i'm with Yakumo, seems like a real chick to me... but why is she in a french maid's outfit?

    As for the Doll thing - check out this new game called "candy girl" from le chocolat. Weird with a captial W. Even I was surprised that this is getting so mainstream.

    Anyhoo ProgrammingAce those french outfits are everywhere in japan, can't believe you have never seen them before. Any slightly otaku-y event has to have at least 3 girls in those outfits! Check out akiba blog, every 5th entry probably has a girl in these outfits. It is just another symbol that otaku media has latched onto.

    That's pretty cool, although I'd rather have a huge dragon looking gun to play Panzer Dragoon. =)

    fat? Ugly? how can you tell that she's ugly from a behind shot? As for being fat I have no idea how you came to that. You are talking about this one aren't you?

    She looks fat with that dress and the "booty" shot combination.

    And the ugly, well I said slightly...

    That shit looks awesome.


    Too bad I could only play Death Crimson with it *shudder*, I think some Virtua Cop or House of the Dead would be much better.
