Geeky girls looking for a place to store their Space Invaders earrings need look no further than the Atari Joystick Jewelry Box. This jewelry box hearkens back to the days of 8-bit gaming when characters were controlled solely via joystick and the definition of a high score was winning five straight games of Pong.
The Atari Joystick Jewelry Box was custom-made by Instructables user Anna Howard Shaw. Since the Atari Joystick Jewelry box is an instructable, it can be made at home with a minimal amount of skill and tools. I am really digging this jewelry box, thanks to its simple design and geeky charm. Shaw would be wise to start producing and selling these en masse. Retro geekery is making a strong comeback and these nerds have money to spend.
