Can’t Afford em Crafts has found a use for all those old video game cartridges. They have designed quirky analog cartridge clocks from the old games.
The cartridge clocks by Cant Afford em Crafts use the shell of the game to create the front of the clock, taking out the inner workings of the game for the clock pieces.
Selling for only $20 each, they’re a steal for any gamer’s room, despite the company being named Can’t Afford em Crafts. Definitely worth taking a look at if you love old school games.
