If this custom-painted, ChuChu Rocket-branded Dreamcast isn't one of the prettiest consoles ever, I don't know what is

I wish I could say I'm partially, if not completely, responsible for artist OSKUNK deciding to create the  ChuChu Rocket-branded Dreamcast seen below--I have, after all, suggested such a contraption in the past--but let's be honest: the French illustrator and "customiseur" probably doesn't even know I exist.



Which is likely for the best, because if he did know of my existence I'd have to use whatever influence I have (read: none) to get him to sell me this particular custom-made console--or maybe this Jet Set Radio-themed beauty, or the Samba de Amigo one seen in this previous post.

I'd also do my best to (virtually) twist his arm to get him to conjure up a Game Gear that features some sort of fabulous paint job inspired by one of my all-time favorite Game Gear titles, Magical Puzzle Popils.



Until then, I guess I'll just have to keep an eye (or two) on OSKUNK's blog, Custom Art, in the hopes of catching an advance glimpse of his next game-related pièce de résistance.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! This is the one and only Dreamcast game I played and loved. And...this would make me buy one. Instantly.

Looking at the older posts on this guy the thing that really stands out to me is how great a canvas the Dreamcast seems to be! His other "consoles" are great, but that circular lid and square shape really seems to lend itself well to neat designs. Yet another way the DC was ahead of its time!

It's the only DC game you've ever played, Justin? Man, you really need to pick up a DC and some games someday. There are sooooooo many great ones.


Seriously, it's too bad we don't live closer together. If we did, I'd have you over and introduce you to the greatness that is the Dreamcast :)

Oh, I agree completely, Michael. And I like how he sometimes ignores the circular lid and other times uses it to his advantage.

Justin Difazzio said...

Yeah...sad, right? My friend Jeff has one...but we have so much other stuff we're playing, we've only played it once.


Umm...it might be the saddest thing ever that we don't live closer. Neither of us would probably get anything done, though.

True. It sure would be nice to geek out together once in a while. Plus, I'd finally have someone local to play games with. Oh, well, at least we can chat about them via the Interwebs :)
