It seems that retro is still metro, and with the new video game consoles being so ludicrously expensive some recommend giving nostalgic game systems.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The one rule I'd follow when choosing an older game system is to go back at least three generations. Right now, the GameCube is no more nostalgic than a 1993 Ford Escort, while playing a Sega Genesis is like motoring around town in a Dodge Charger (which would be about 50 times more cool than an Escort even if the Dukes of Hazzard never existed).As a guy with a ColecoVision, with the Atari 2600 expansion unit, stored under my television right this very minute, I can attest to warm fuzzies/remembered frustration of a Gorilla throwing barrels.
But all of a sudden I wonder, why was the ape named Donkey?
