DIY: Video game cartridges laser-carved in wood

I originally only made NES/SNES cartridges out of wood. Someone kept on bugging me to make him a Soul Reaver cartridge, so I eventually made him one. This was made out walnut, cherry and poplar using a laser engraver.

Amazing creative work by IMGURian Pigminted. They've got a store via Instagram! Love this stuff.

Not a newSoul Reaver game but.....
