It's not exactly a secret that I'm a bit fascinated by "LEGO artists"--especially those who enjoy recreating game characters and systems out of those colorful, interlocking bricks that most of us toyed with as kids.
For instance, late last year I published this post about a LEGO GameBoy Color, and before that I published about a million posts about Filip Johannes Felberg's LEGO Pokemon creations.
As awesome as all of the above are, I think the LEGO SNES below may be the most awesome of them all.
Of course, I say that in part because it's a damn near perfect recreation of Nintendo's 16-bit system and in part because it houses a real-life copy of the Quintet-developed, Enix-published RPG, Illusion of Gaia.
For more shots of this stunningly realistic piece of LEGO art--it even has a functioning eject button--check out this photo set by Flick user lego27bricks.

Wow it looks just like SNES. They did a great job
I agree, Adam! I can't believe how much it looks like the real thing. This artist's LEGO GameBoy Color is similarly impressive, by the way.
Whoa. I really didn't notice it wasn't real until I read the title. How strange and wonderful! And...Illusion of Gaia? One of my FAVORITES!
At first glance it is *awfully* realistic, isn't Justin. Just amazing. As for Illusion of Gaia: God, I haven't played it in AGES!
Yay Illusion of Gaia! I've had the itch to play play it's spiritual predecessor Soul Blazer a bit lately.
That really is impressive. The level of detail is quite amazing. When I was a kid I had a ton of lego but could never really make anything that....looked like anything other than a big random pile of lego. My projects were usually about size, I could make the pile tall or wide, but I didn`t have enough to do both at the same time.
Kaze: I don't think I've ever played Soul Blazer. Is it good, too? Guess I'll have to check it out...
Sean: My childhood experiences with Lego blocks are much like yours: I generally made, well, "things" out of them. Things that rarely looked like what I wanted them to look like. Houses seemed to be the most successful, if I'm remembering correctly...
a question: But "Illusion of Gaia" to do with Terranigma? Bryan Terranigma you know?
Hey there, Marco! Yes, I know about Terranigma, although I've sadly never played it. As for what that game has to do with Illusion of Gaia: Basically, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma were developed by Quintet and are supposed to form a trilogy of sorts, although I don't think they're directly related to one another. (Hopefully someone with more knowledge of these games will correct me if I'm wrong!)
Thanks for the information!
You know that I was lucky enough to play and finish Terranigma for the Nes. It took me two years, because he was a kid.
Fortunately, the game came in 1996. I'm sorry you could not play.
But I was never able to play throughout the trilogy complete.
Thanks again the tip!
You're very welcome, Marco!
Glad you liked it, Billy. And thank you for visiting my blog.
