Atari Hero mod lets you rock out with ET

Filed under: ,

Those of us old enough to remember crap games like E.T. and Sssnake have every right to be thrilled by the relative quality of contemporary gems like Guitar Hero. We’re guessing modder Conner Flynn by at SlipperyBrick feels that way too, melding the old with the new by inserting an Atari 2600 console into the body of a faux-Gibson from Guitar Hero. that meant adding two controllers to the body (an eight-way joystick plus a paddle-style controller for Breakout), wiring up the green button on the neck, and adding a small screen where the strum bar would normally reside. It’s a layout that makes that axe best suited for play Jeff Healey-style, and with a pocketful of AA batteries you can game your Angel Eyes out wherever you like. No, it’s not the most ergonomic portable 2600 we’ve ever seen, or most practical

, but is certainly is the most badass.
