Joust Guitar Strap

Post by domesticscientist »

This may be a little obscure, but I made a guitar strap for a friend based on his favorite arcade game, Joust:

I'm hoping to get to a Megaman strap, but I have like 4 other projects before I get to that one....

It's great to display your work on something usefull instead of just a frame. Cool idea and one I've going to have to utilize with a different sprite. Way to go!

Very cool project - like AC said, always nice to work on something a little bit out of the norm.

Joust is one of those games that I have always heard about but never played. A quick search on Wikipedia tells me it was released in 1982, which explains why I have never played it :D
Current Projects: Legend of Zelda Magnet Set, Mario Kart coasters (50% done - Mario and Peach finished, Yoshi and Luigi or Toad pending)
Finished Projects: Assorted Coasters, Mega Man 2 Robot Master Magnets, Angry Birds Magnets

I played it once at a friend's house when I was a little girl, I remember going home and telling my mother all about it, lol.

Cool strap, I love to see cross stitch on all sorts of different items - great job! ^^

I remember playing that game on our old Atari, I loved it!
I love the strap to, it's very unique.

I played joust last Christmas for a really long time. It was the first video game tournament with friends/family I've had since Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat like 12 years ago.

Love it!

We had Joust on our Windows 3.1 computer when I was a kid, but I think there was something wrong with the program or something, 'cause no matter what we did, nothing seemed to work right. Like, we just ended up hopping around a lot. Which may have also been because we were kids and there were no instructions. :confused:

That looks so cool! Is it difficult to stitch on a guitar strap?
