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....

obscure? yes. but, I'd argue that their is not a single thing on this site that is not obscure... :Luigi

for those of you that missed the 'Space Invaders Guitar Strap' check that out too...(I like the joust one better though)

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

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 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?
