Video Game Controller Fossils
May 11, 2009 24 Comments
As things get older they often times shrink, lose muscle, and acquire a multitude of wrinkles. Other times they become deliciously rock hard, forever preserving the awesomeness of the original item. As I prefer the latter, these cement cast modern fossils are right up my alley. Concocted with a blend of concrete and other materials made to resemble real stone fossils, various old school controllers are available (with prices starting at a more than reasonable $45) as a permanent piece of your video game collection. I wonder if they could cast SNOP DOGG’s accessory for me. I bet I could get a discount since it would probably qualify as a miniature. I’ll look into that while you ogle more “fossils” after the jump.

A 360 controller that still worked, and was painted like that would be sick.
I want one
I wonder if they sacrificed actual controllers, or they just did a negative plaster mold or something
Seems like a negative plaster mold to me. But without a doubt, really impressive, and awesome!
Ah yes, the Nintendo 64.
The source of most, if not all, of my childhood memories.
i want an old-school original xbox controller. but that’d be a huge freakin rock… XD
Dukes FTW!
*GASP*
SEGA LIGHT GUN PLZ?!
Pretty nifty idea though.
Ha! You, ma’am are quite the subtle woman indeed. hahahaha!
N64 FTW
True
what, no sega?
psh, all you young ppl. where’s the atari, at least the NES.
follow the link ;-)
Needs more Vextrex.
I would be abit more impressed if they used 2 different type of “rock”. Then it would be more fossil like.
OMG N64! Snop dog will never live it down though. -insert small referance here… again-. Also nice analogy of the rock hard thing you sure do know your joysticks well!
These are great though but what is the gun one?

My bad i was born only 5 years before game boy so well yeah woops.
:whispers: Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. It wasn’t all that great anyways. :quietly sneaks away:
Good Times! I still have mine!!!
pretty cool, but i want a game gear one
Yeah. Awesome stuff. Seriously. Where’s the Xbox one though?
WHERE?!
$45.00 for a fake fossil? Call me cheap, but I’ll save the moolah.
talk about dinosaurs. Virtual Boy was an ancient failure and eventually died off because its major food source (gamers) didn’t play it.
Please tell me what she said at the top is what I think she means… O_o
