In a world where gaming artifacts are often forgotten or discarded, two passionate lifelong gamers and collectors have joined forces to launch a GoFundMe campaign to preserve a remarkable piece of gaming history – the world’s largest video game controller. This colossal controller, which played a pivotal role in a video game-based television show, is in danger of being lost forever. The company behind its creation has closed down for the second time, leaving it destined for the scrapyard.
The massive controller, crafted in the iconic design of the classic NES controller, has captured the imaginations of gamers across generations with its awe-inspiring size and nostalgic appeal. However, without intervention, this piece of gaming awe will become a forgotten relic. Determined to save it from such a fate, the organizers are seeking to raise money through their GoFundMe campaign to transport, restore, and share this incredible artifact with the world.
“Our mission is to rescue this extraordinary piece of gaming history and ensure it receives the recognition it deserves,” said Jason Baamonde, one of the campaign organizers. “We envision bringing the controller to public events, museums, and exhibitions, allowing gamers young and old to experience its magnificence and appreciate its significance.”
The GoFundMe campaign, accessible at https://gofund.me/628001ac, invites gaming enthusiasts, history buffs, and supporters of preservation to contribute to this noble cause. Every donation, regardless of size, will make a meaningful impact in saving this beautiful retro monster. As a token of gratitude for their support, the organizers will permanently install a printed list of every person who donates any amount inside the controller, forever honoring their contribution.
Funds raised from the campaign would be used in a three-step process that involves extracting and transporting it from its current location, repairing some of the controller’s parts and storing it properly, and prepping it for public displays. All of these would be accomplished if well-meaning individuals, groups, and organizations support the efforts of Jason and VGNY Dan as they seek to preserve this piece of gaming history.
