Take a Trip Down Memory Lane With This Mini-Game System

There’s no doubt that video games have come a long way. These days you can find yourself in a completely immersive experience, where you are not just playing the game, you are part of the game. You can compete against players across the world, with graphics so realistic you can almost feel the textures, smell the scents, taste the flavors. And the emotions are real … the fear, the excitement, the humor. But when it comes right down to it, was there really anything better than saving princesses, gobbling up ghosts, and shooting asteroids in pixelated 8-bit splendor when you were a kid? Now you can relive some of that excitement.

Yes, the graphics were rudimentary, the sound admittedly a little annoying, and the gameplay sometimes a bit wonky, but that didn’t stop us from staying up to the wee hours of the morning trying to get to the next level and attempting to beat our personal best score. It was new, it was fun, and (although we are loathe to say so) addicting.

While today’s generation may not get it, playing some of the original videos games of our childhood will bring back a lot of memories. And we’re willing to bet that if you took your offspring, or nieces and nephews, or the kids down the street (just make sure to check with the parents first!) down your trip through memory lane that they will soon understand why the obsession.

With 640 games to get you to wax nostalgic, this Mini-Game Entertainment System is bound to include some of your old-time favorites and some new discoveries.  Complete with 2 hardwired joysticks, you can call up your old BFF and finally settle who is the king of the 8-bit world. So get out your hair gel, put on your hammer pants, and get ready for some rad fun! For only $36 (regularly priced at $89) you will have hours of retro joy!
