Old joypads get new lease of life
Oct 1, 2008
What do you do with old video game console joypads?
If you answered "Throw them out," "Trade them for something better," or "Throw them to the back of the cupboard and forget about them," congratulations, you're in agreement with most of the rest of the video gaming world.
But a new trend could see those obsolete joypads rejuvenated as chic belt buckles. Leading the way is this creation, made from "a real, genuine, NES controller" -- sure to draw attention to your old-school gaming background. Or your crotch. Either way, there's quite a selection available, including the Genesis pad, the immortal Pac-Man silhouette, and, perhaps most bizarrely, the Atari 2600 joystick. Some things just weren't meant to be made into belt buckles.
