Classic video game cartridges turned into external hard drives

A seller going by the name of 8Bir Memory on the DIY store Etsy.com, has started selling old Super Nintendo game cartridges modified into external hard disk drives. The epitome of nerdiness? You bet. And we’re loving it. He has converted classic titles such as Star Wars, Metroid, the Legend of Zelda, Mega Man 2 into useful hard disk drives. Besides looking good, the cartridges disguise the fact that they are hard disk drives. The next time someone breaks into your room, you can be sure these cartridge shells will be left untouched – unless of course the robber is into retro gaming as well, then you’re out of luck. Head over to Etsy.com to check out the game cartridge hard drives. I wonder if our old GameBoy cartridges can be repurposed for anything else.
