I never owned a NeoGeo. Why? I was a teenager when they came out, and the games cost far too much for my pocket! This miniature recreation of a NeoGeo arcade cabinet sees 40 games (the average price of a Neo Geo game in the 1990s was $200, $8000 for all 40 games!) and includes the classics like Metal Slug, The King of Fighters and of course, Fatal Fury.

The console has scaled versions of the original controls, a 3.5-inch screen, and runs from a USB-C power supply.

Need a bigger screen? Connect via HDMI. External controllers, NeoGeo Mini Game controllers (available separately) can be used to retro game from the sofa!

What is this? A Nintendo GameBoy for ants?

Joking aside, this GameBoy styled console is tiny (0.7 x 0.3 x 1.2 inches!) and is powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040 microcontroller. Programmable via a web interface, you can make your own games and demos to share with others. I've got one of these and they are great fun to play with.

Zangief, Dhalsim, Chun-Li, Ryu. If these names just brought back a flood of memories, then this little cabinet is for you. Street Fighter 2 was a global phenomenon in the 1990s, and I played it for MANY hours on my SNES.

This tiny, authentically recreated arcade cabinet features a 3.25-inch screen and scaled controls that mirror the original layout. The cabinet is only 6.9 x 5.6 x 8.7 inches in size, and it will look great on your desk. Buy a couple and link up with a friend to decide who is the world warrior

The original Xbox came with "The Duke" controller, and unless you had huge hands, it was painful to play with. The "Duchess" is a smaller version of the famous controller, made for the Xbox Series X and your PC. The layout and aesthetic are so early 2000s, and I love it!

Hall effect sticks, so no drift, headphone jack and bumpers that mimic the white and black buttons. All you need is Halo: Campaign Evolved, some Mountain Dew, and Cheetos, and you are back fragging newbs before class.

If you play retro games and more modern titles, then this is the controller for you. The overall shape is similar to the Super Nintendo, but it has the dual analog sticks and horns of a Sony PlayStation pad. This makes it useful for PlayStation emulation, SNES, and other 8/16-bit machines. But when you want to play newer titles, you won't need to reach for another pad as this Xbox designed pad will easily work on your PC! Best of all, this controller has Bluetooth, so you can game in comfort on your sofa!

You get a healthy dose of nostalgia in the aesthetics, but you get all the functionality that you need for a modern keyboard. Kailh Box Switch V2 White mechanical key switches, dye-sub PBT keycaps, and multiple connection options make this a great keyboard for retro computing and getting work done. The two large A and B "super" buttons can be programmed to do anything, probably to switch to Excel when the boss comes back into the office, saving you from a retro gaming dismissal.

An OG-Xbox inspired 87-key keyboard with RGB backlight!

Translucent plastics were all the rage in the 1990s, and while the OG Xbox didn't have a translucent case until the Crystal, this keyboard is a homage to an era of care-free gaming!

We get 87 keys with Kailh Jellyfish X switches, double-layered ABS keycaps, and a lovely translucent green plastic shell! The colored cursor keys are beautiful. Yes, we get the A and B super buttons that you can program to be any key, handy if you need to really make a point!

Looking like something that Syd Mead would have designed for Aliens or Blade Runner, this wireless rechargeable mouse has swappable buttons (it uses standard keycap stems) and can be used in wired, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth modes. It screams retro and would look great on your desk.

The DPI is adjustable from 800-2400 in 200 DPI increments, so you could use it for gaming, but it'll probably be retro gaming with Doom, Dark Forces or Sim City...right?

If the Nintendo NES were merged in some telepod / transporter accident with a wireless mouse, the 8-bit do N30 would be the result.

You get a 2.4GHz wireless mouse in a NES-inspired case, and there is even a D-pad on the side. The mouse buttons are very similar to the NES controller, as is the case color.

It may not be a Logitech MX Master 4, but it is fun!

Build a 1990s PC without using a screwdriver!

A construction kit for those of us old enough to remember doing this for real back in the 1990s! Build a desktop PC along with CD ROM drive, ISA / PCI cards and a power supply, then crown the build with a monitor that has interchangeable screens, and a keyboard mouse combo.

The PC measures 18.9 x 20 x 24CM it will look great on your shelf!

Mac fans, you can pick up this Zuru building kit for under $10. I've got one and it is really cute!

A 1:1 scale replica of the gaming handheld that dominated the 1990s.

Nintendo's Game Boy is an iconic piece of tech, and this Lego model is an exact replica of the great handheld. It comes with two cartridges, Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The screen can be replaced with a lenticular screen that recreates the original console's pixels.

This is a glorious piece of retro tech, preserved in Lego form for your shelves. Yes, I have already bought mine!

No, these are not 3D-printed save icons; they are silicone replicas of how we used to save our work in school / college / work back in the 1980s and 1990s.

Waterproof, wipeable (not with a magnet), and you can even write messages on the labels. A lovely reminder of when 1.44MB was considered enough storage for your projects.

If you have a floppy drive, do not stick these in!

Seeing neon always makes me think of the 1980s, and this sign is fresh out of that decade, but without the dangers of neon.

Using an RGB LED, this USB-powered LED "Neon" wall art is 15.7 by 6.8 inches in size, and it clearly states that your vibe is 1980s arcades!
