Retro Gaming Triumvirate

Source: Wired

Anytime gaming nostalgia used to hit me I would dust off my trusty old NES, blow the dust off a few cartridges and relive my first video game experiences in all of their pixelated glory.

Then my NES broke, and I tried to make due for a while on emulators and downloaded games on my laptop, but it just wasn't the same...

It looks like the good old days can be mine again with the RetroN 3 Gaming System. This ingenious device consists of one part NES, one part Super Nintendo, one part Sega Genesis and is completely radical!

As you can see from the pic it has three separate slots for the various game cartridges, and ports on the sides compatible with the original controllers for all three systems but comes with wireless controllers just in case you forgot what it was like to play with corded controllers. It is a first step to an old school gamers nirvana for a mere $70!

I knew saving my old NES games would pay off someday!
