'Duck Hunt' Lamp Sure to Make Retro Gamers Swoon

by Tim Stevens on May 6, 2008 at 06:17 PM

'Duck Hunt' Lamp Makes Keeps Monsters Away for Retro GamersFor young kids, whimsical bed-stand lamps are vital survival tools, necessary for keeping the monsters that dwell in dark corners at bay. That seems to be the purpose of this lamp we found over at Apartment Therapy Unplugged. It's made up of an old 'Duck Hunt' cartridge combined with a genuine Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Zapper. The lamp is topped with a suitably pixelated shade featuring your faithful dog from the game.

We hope that those old enough to remember 'Duck Hunt' are also old enough to not be afraid of the dark anymore, but regardless, it's enough to make any retro-loving gamer swoon -- assuming they haven't grown up to join PETA, of course. [Source: Unplggd]
