If you’ve been itching to get your hands on a classic arcade cabinet, Retro Space is the perfect choice. Designed by Martjin Koch, this cabinet was built to commemorate the first ever cabinet for an arcade. It was called Computer Space and was released in 1971. But with this tribute, you don’t have to stick to outdated technology
Dr. Who has been a major geeky icon for quite some time, so it is only logical that someone take the Police Box and take it one step further. They actually crammed a home made arcade set up that will play plenty of retro games.
Panasonic’s Lumix range continues in its pleasingly classic styling with the new DMC-LX3K, a 10.1-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with a custom 1/1.63-inch CCD and many of the features and functionality previously limited to DSLR ranges. As well as a 2.5x optical zoom and 2.5fps image burst capture mode, it can capture images in the RAW format together with 720p high-definition video at 24fps.

If classic Nintendo gaming is your obsession, but you’re too worried about dust drifting into the cartridge slots of your precious box-fresh original consoles to actually play anything, then the Retro Duo might be the emulator for you.

I’m not sure why, but this Flexii Bluetooth cassette adapter really pleases me somehow. Designed to make streaming music through a car stereo straightforward even if your ride only has a tape deck, it uses the A2DP profile to take a stereo stream from your PMP or cellphone and squirt it out of the car’s speakers. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 5hrs of playback (or 120hrs standby).
Many of us, no matter how old we get, will still love rockets and everything Sci-Fi. Especially the more shiny type things. This very retro rocket lamp actually uses an old jet engine igniter can to give it that vintage look.
