Craftster member fluffypants from Ontario, Canada has put together this fun and cool looking lamp using a Nintendo zapper and a Duck Hunt cartridge.

A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade.

I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and… ta dah!

At a first quick look, this may look like the cool geeky clocks you’ve seen in the past. But the NES Circuit Board Clock ($35) is different. Instead of using the circuit board from a computer, this one is built on one from a 1987 Nintendo video game console.

Here’s a nice way to store your CDs, DVDs and Video Games in a hard-core gamer style. Shaped like the classic NES controller, the Nintendo Controller CD Wallet ($16) holds up to 48 discs. The binder has the Nintendo logo in red ink.

The wonderful GeekGear Shop over at Etsy gives us yet another example of a fun and creative way to use of the classic NES controller.

Gone are the lazy crazy days of the 80’s when video game controllers had less buttons than you have fingers. The question is what to do with all these old video game controllers.

Well this original Nintendo controller was saved from the landfill and recycled into a nifty storage box. The box is 5 inches long by 2 inches wide and just a bit over 1/2 inch tall.

The original buttons have been glued into place and there is just enough room to store your keys, mints, some spare change, push pins, paper clips or loose nuts, bolts and screws. (You get the idea)

This would make a great gift for that computer repair tech that is always looking to store a few extra screws on his desk!
