Some games linger, even when they’re no longer in the spotlight, and BioShock is a game that may never die. The sinister underwater city of Rapture continues to haunt the minds–and hands–of artisan gamers around the world. From bento to Big Daddies, it seems like there’s always some BioShock project around. This time? A replica ADAM syringe.

BioShock’s freaky Little Sisters carry around these syringes to extract ADAM, and this one was lovingly assembled and then aged by Harrison Krix, a self-described prop-maker from Georgia. Krix is responsible for a number of other amazing projects, including a replica of the gun from Portal.

Krix’s BioShock replica is almost exact, even down to the surreal glow. What’s in the jar? Red dye, hair gel, and water, with LEDs below. Without a ready supply of ADAM, crafty folks have to get creative.
