[revolvingdork] etched his Eeepc with the entire level map of Super Mario Land for Game boy. He set the laser to 70% speed and 40% power to get it to turn out this way. This is a far safer way of expressing your self and playing with laser etching than tattooing yourself with the laser.

    Pretty cool, yet you should have used SMB3 levels…. then you could throw the N card maps on there.. that would be ill

    It may be a safer way of playing with lasers than the tattoo, but you don’t go into laser-etching-infamy.

    Really cool! It would have been uber-cool if you somehow had branching paths (like from pipes etc) in there too… then again, were they in SML or just SML2? Been a while since I’ve played a Game Boy game.
