21 Things Every Retro Gamer Needs In Their Life...
Atari, Nintendo, SEGA, PlayStation....big or small we love them all! Growing up, like many of the kids we knew we were totally in love with the latest video games.
Nothing was more exciting that button bashing Street Fighter, helping Mario save the Princess (or die trying at least), or perhaps even being chased around the screen by Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde.
It wasn't all about the latest graphics, the best in game physics, HUD, or even having the biggest free world to roam around in. Retro gaming was purely about raw fun which is what many of the classic gave us by the bucket load.
If like us, you're heart belongs to some of the classic titles and characters from your childhood, not only do we want to virtually hi-five you, but we also think we've just some pretty cool goodies you'd just got to snap up.
To show you just what we're talking about, we've popped together a list of our top Things Every Retro Gamer Needs In Their Life. Enjoy!

Heroes In A Halfshell…….. and T-Shirt, Mug & Loungepants!
The year was 1989 and a phenomenon had just began - four fearless fighting green machines quickly took over this ten year old boys life and an obsession quickly ensued!
Their names: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Turtle Mania was massive. In every store window, on every high street would be Turtles merchandise, shop keepers praying and rubbing their hands waiting for whiney kids to nag their parents to buy, posters, toys, pencil cases or colouring books. My parents would avoid taking me past such places for obvious reasons.
I could only dream of the day when I'd finally work for a place that sold such things - Backpacks, T-shirts, Loungepants,Socks and Mugs; I'm wearing my Turtles Boxers Shortsright now!
