Grenade controller could make you look like a total badass photo

I love all the old retro appeal of my original Atari controllers, but I tell you what, you tell me I can play with a grenade controller instead and those old things would get retired for a while. I mean, it's a GRENADE. It's even called The Terminator. How badass does one's gaming experience get?

We spotted these over at CrunchGear today. Made in Denmark, they were posted on the Flickr page of a user named Klonoaxero who says he picked up from a friend. Rare find! I notice the packaging reads "design patent pending". I guess it might have been hard to talk parents into buying a controller that could be chucked at the heads of little brothers and sisters if a "Hey, I wanna play MY game" fight got too nasty.

Lol, somebody will get raided. Like the Atari is still played so often today. This ain't gonna make the news, but I'll be damned if that isn't an awesome controller. now all I need is an Atari to play it on.

These old nine-pin joysticks also work on the C64.

Not a batarang.

This harkens back to the Chainsaw controller for RE4. Epic.
