Japanese game store devises winning formula for keychains

by JC Fletcher on Sep 13th 2007 3:05PM

Game|Life's Chris Kohler found these keychains while browsing in a Super Potato store in Akihabara. The store makes them onsite out of-- guess-- old games and keyrings. They'll take any game you want made dangly, drill a hole in it, and keyring get. Seen here: Doshin the Giant for the 64DD, Rockman 5, and some unidentified Famicom Disk System disks.

We'd totally buy one. And If there's a market for extremely impractical keyrings like this, that kill classic games in their creation, then we just totally got an idea for a craft. (Hint: it's this idea.)

I thought the winning formula was

Water + Heat = Steam

I am SO doing this. I'm strongly considering a big fat NES cartridge, but an old Game Boy game would probably be more practical for pocket purposes. But an NES game would be a lot cooler. I think I've even got a spare Zelda II gold cartridge! Of course, if I plan it out and drill through an area of the cartridge that avoids the circuit board, it'd probably even be playable, which would be even COOLER somehow.

poor classic games =( Don't destroy them!

I see no point in it, what would you want a key chain of...? A classic popular game, and not some cheap game that nobody cases about, don't destroy them! It kills classic gaming and masterpieces!

Super Potato is a pretty bitchin' shop. Last time I went there they had a Virtual Boy up and running, and their prices are better than a lot of places in Akiba.
