Now that Project VideoStar is well underway, I can’t help but marvel at others’ retro ingenuity. Well, it doesn’t get much more ingenious than this, as Flickr user ShaolinDrunkard has created this awesome Bubble Bobble arcade stick, with genuine Sanwa arcade parts. It connects to a PC via USB.

Of course, six buttons is a little over-the-top for Bubble Bobble, but I guess you need to leave your options open. Owning an arcade setup that’s not even up to the task of serving up some Street Fighter whooping would be pretty disappointing after all.
