We all know that videogames are good for your fine motor skills, inspire creativity, etc, so check out these photos of great knit game projects courtesy of the talented crafters on Flickr.

1. Above: Atari + Pitfall

Notice the little Pitfall Harry on the screen.

2. Magnetic Katamari Ball

Add magnets and you can actually roll up metal objects. Slug tokens not included.

3. Katamari Hat

Now you can tell people, “that’s how I roll!”

4. Mario Pillow

This pillow actually comes from Princess Peach’s bedroom.

5. Pac Man hat

I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is more pellets.6. Knit LocoRoco

So cute, and looks simple enough to do.

7. Link’s Hat

The hat looks warm, but why does the end need to be so long? What else are you keeping in your hat?8. Konami Logo

For keeping Solid Snake’s wrists warm during his Alaskan sabbatical.

9. NES Afghan

Drape this over your couch and bask in the 80s nostalgia.

10. Bonus Knit Game: courtesy of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

All the challenge of knitting with none of the result!
