It’s an epic geek craft from Snaggs! This 5 foot tall, 4 foot wide by 10 inch vinyl Pitfall cartridge takes the original Atari game to awesome DIY levels. Yes, it’s really that big- that’s not a room of miniature furniture above. In fact here’s the creator lying on top of it holding the original Pitfall cartridge for scale:

Besides the incredible detail, which you can see below, this game has one more trick up it’s sleeve. When you push down on Pitfall Harry’s pocket, it makes the “jumping over gators” sound. Do want.

Incredible handiwork. The other cool part- it’s for sale! Doesn’t say how much (or how you would ship it) but contact Snaggs through her website above if you want to own it. Awesomesauce.

She calls this a pixelquilt. You’re probably thinking that it takes a long time to cut and sew this many squares into a quilt. And you’d be correct. This big Sheldon was started in July and only completed six months later in January. Well at least it was finished in time for some cold weather. Bazinga! Bazinga indeed, sir. (hat tip)
