Its great to see that vintage coin-op machines are not all being chucked away but instead restored. The Coin-Op collection on flickr is a superb collection and example of what a wonderful sight old coin-op machines can be.

Wow 30 years of Space Invaders and and you can celebrate it by getting some Space Invader towels. They may not be the most innovative products but you cant beat a cool towel and since I have never owned a Black towel now might be the perfect time to start. Pick yours up for under $20 here.

Another retro style radio to add to growing list but this is one of my favourite designs in a long time with its cool lime green colour combined with the stylish grill styled centre. Grab it from V&A at only £30.

With the tons of video game figures around its always exciting to hear or toys for your favourite vintage games and the latest is news of Sonic the Hedgehog figures. The most exciting thing about this bit of news is that they are being created by First 4 Figures, who produce some absolutely stunning figures, and they will be based on the classic versions of the characters. I have full confidence that the initial line up of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles is going to be nothing short of amazing when they arrive around July 2008. [via Action Figure]

I Can’t thing on many uses of the classic Atari joystick shape that have looked as good as this Atari Joy candle holder. The fact that is white makes it even more interesting and adds a certain modern feel to it. Just make sure the kids don’t get confused when it alight. Oh and it will burn a hole in your wallet (sorry for the cheesiness) with the price tag of £50. [via Kotaku]

This has got to be one of the most enjoyable live performances ever especially for all you vintage game lovers. Watch it and you will be amazed at how many different games they fit in and at how close to the original music they orchestrated.

I have to say there is something very appealing about the craftsmanship of this Memento Mori1810 Skull Pocket Watch but I just can not see how someone can pay $16000 to carry a scary skull like this around with them and crack open the skull to look at the time.

Momento Mori in Latin means “Rembember you are mortal, remember you will die, remember your death”… uumm this watch gets more and more morbid.

Various stamp keyboards were made in this style with 1 nations stamps covering each keyboard. The stamps look to be all collectors stamp and so the result is a very vintage looking keyboard. I think you will either love this or hate it.. I can not decided if the cluttered look works. However one thing I am sure about is that you will probably spend more time looking at the keyboard than at the screen trying to work out where on earth all these stamps come from. [via Makezine]

How on earth can a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux look this amazing. Well having the skills of Richard R. Nagy aka Datamancer is how. The steampunk laptop features an “elaborate display of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from old clock parts”.

All I know is that any laptop I go out to purchase now will be completely dull and boring in comparison. I mean just look at the beautiful casing when the laptop is closed.

At first I thought this was just a vacuum figure but it is in a fact a mini working USB retro vacuum for people who sit at all the desk all day and want to clear those crumbs. The retro styling is just a added bonus.. a very cute and cool USB device. [via Geeklogie]
