Found a good use for my extra 2600 carts

I found a good use for my box full of extra common Atari 2600 cartridges...

 

Blocks for my 1 year old boy!

 

He likes them... he carries them around, chews on them, throws them down the stairs, etc.

 

I also gave him a standard 2600 joystick (minus the cable).

 

I can't wait until he gets old enough to start playing them.

I did that once by accident. I had stacks of 2600 and 7800 games laid out on my floor because I was moving them. I accidently knocked over one stack and all the others went in a domino effect. Funny thing was the cart on the first stack that started it all was Tower Toppler. How's that for irony!

I've always wanted to create a coffee table out of 2600 cartridges. The top of the table would consist of as many 2600 carts as I could reasonably fit, then covered with a thin layer of glass. Would be pretty cool and certainly an interesting conversation piece..

 

Would also be cool to tile a bathroom floor with 'em. I certainly have HUNDREDS of duplicate carts that could serve that purpose well. Will have to wait until I have a house built someday.
