20 Best Retro Gaming Gifts
from Playstation to the Game Boy and back
Relive the 80s with your favorite retro gaming gifts!
As a true child of the 80s in America, I grew up playing video games on what are now considered retro consoles. My family owned an Atari-2600, followed by a Nintendo and a Super Nintendo. I spent hours on the games I loved, playing Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Peter Pan in Hook, and Mickey Mouse in The Magical Quest!
When I wasn’t playing in the woods outside with the boys, I was in the basement living out my alternate reality exploring faraway lands.
Then I got my first handheld gaming device, the Sega Game Gear, which I saw as an exciting new alternative to the Game Boy. The Game Gear was in color, not in black & white like the Game Boy! Besides pretending I was Sonic the Hedgehog, I could be Ecco the Dolphin, living in an underwater fantasy world! My own eco-paradise!

Such a love of exploring the unknown fed into a perpetual urge to travel while awake and into exciting dreamt landscapes created while asleep. Couldn’t we say that playing video games can help us become more defiant and brave as we grow to face the unknown with more perseverance?
As we glimpse back at into our childhoods and simpler days gone by, retro is making a comeback!
The Commodore 64, NES, Playstation, Sega Genesis or the XBOX? From classic consoles, video game controllers and hand-held devices to the most popular video games themselves, this officially-licensed merchandise is sure to turn heads and re-kindle memories of a happy care-free childhood.
Take nostalgia for a spin and immortalize the Commodore 64, the Game Boy and the Playstation with a collectible gift for yourself or for another fan.
From wearable retro gear to classic pixelated artwork and memorabilia for your home or workplace, these are gifts that will truly make you bounce with joy at remembering those fantasy lands you will never cease from exploring!
