What if, in the 80s, music had been sold on cartridges? And what if there was a portable music player that played these cartridges? And…what if this player was made to look like a miniature boom box? These ideas got me excited enough to start this next project.

Retro tech always looks good in transparent cases, so let’s make a crystal version of the NES Monster Game Controller.

Ok, I don’t need a logo. But it would be fun to have one. Especially if I want to take these product experiments as close to real products as possible.

It was time to take the experiments one step further by making a fully functional product. Creating a custom PCB for the electronics seemed quite daunting at first, but then I found som help.

While making the Game & Watch remix, I remembered how much I liked the line of Sony Sports products in the 80s.

Having learned the basics of the 3d printer and Autodesk Fusion, it was now time to build something more challenging.

During the summer of 2025 I bought a 3d printer on kind of a whim. I wasn’t really sure how to use it, but I’ve always been interested in industrial design and electronic products.
