Finally the perfect use for my decades old Atari system that I have been hanging on to for purely sentimental reasons. The Atari Joystick was the absolute first that gave me a taste of home console gaming - or was it the NES at a friends place?

Well, I scarcely remember, but what I do know is that I have spent some fabulous hours hanging onto this joystick. It would give me great pride to once again see it functional (in an entirely different manner) in my rooms.

The Atari 2600 Joystick Lamp isnt for sale, even better its a DIY project that any of us can create over the weekend. Full DIY tutorial here.
