Is that an Atari belt buckle or are you just happy to see me?
NESBuckle has created a line from authentic video game controllers. Here’s the night-out nightmare from above, the Atari Buckle, which, it hurts me to say, is sold out. Shucks. In their words:
The Atari controller is something that should never have been turned into a belt buckle. For this reason, we had to make it. Wear it for instant nostalgia and to be the hit at your next party or crowded subway.
Naturally I would have shown the giant gaming system buckle since it would have been more shocking but they only had a “simulated” picture of it. What sold me on this shot was the shirt the guy’s wearing. It’s a vintage MDA fundraising run t-shirt! What are the odds? Also, who knew it was so “cool” to wear one. Those puppies have been piling up all over the house for years! Looks like somebody’s got a date with Ebay.
Hahaha about the recycling! Can’t blame them for that.
Although video games have been a minor and very sporadic thing for me, I agree with your sentiments about this one. It seems some companies do things in a weird and purposeful manner just to garner attention. Like bad commercials. I guess someone’s doing their part to recycle. Good luck with the MDA shirts and Ebay. Cha-Ching!!
