Abstract

A game controller support structure (100) according to the present invention is configured to require a user to operate a game controller (120) in a standing positiion during game play. The support structure (100) includes a frame (90) with a base (92), a body support (103), a game controller (120) and a stand (110). The stand (110) is attached to the base (92) and supports the game controller (120), while a user lower body is engaged by the body support (103). The stand (110) and body support (103) may be adjustable to accommodate various users. In addition, the support structure (100) may be in the form of an isometric exercise system that enables a user to perform isometric exercises during game play to interact with the game.
