High tech games systems and virtual reality are all very well, but there is still something attractive about the retro option. That's a trend that bigger companies have cottoned on to – just look at the fuss over the Nintendo Classic Mini last year. But while that particular mini console is hard to get hold of these days, you could hold off and wait for the Retroblox, a modular console that will play everything from NES and gGenesis games to PSX and Sega CD – once you have the right parts. The optical drive is built in, and you also get online connectivity, so you don't miss out on the wonders that modern technology has to offer gamers. Keep an eye out for Retrobox's crowdfunding campaign expected in April.
