Retro Gaming the Smart[phone] Way.....
In our office it's easy to spot the My Little Pony fan because she's wearing a 'Daddy I want a pony' hoodie or the office geek because he's wearing the latest Big Bang Theory t-shirt and our gamer t-shirts are being sported by our in-house Xbox addicts and Playstation junkies.
