Those Jakks Pacific things are the absolute coolest. The entire game system is the size of an old Atari Joystick. You can plug it into any TV set and recreate an entire 1980's Video Arcade. Back in the day, those games would have cost around $20,000 and now you can get it for $20.

Boy, do I remember the video game boom of the early 80s. There were video arcades in every mall. I had an Intellivision and I don't know how many game cartrdges. You can actually still buy many of the games on disc for your computer here:

I keep meaning to get a couple of those. I'm interested to see their upcoming Mortal Kombat system. If they don't lose any buttons, and it's flawless emulation, it should be pretty cool.
