A chunky blue slab sits on a desk, with RCA jacks protruding like forgotten relics from a garage cleanup. This 8-bit console, known as the GameTank, recently reached its crowdfunding goal on Crowd Supply, and backers are now looking forward to a July 12 2026 ship date, a target that has been locked in after more than $45,345 was raised (as of today) against a $30,000 goal.
Spending too much time in front of a screen, whether you’re grinding raids or simply trying to get through the day, will cause your body to scream in protest. A good chair can make all the difference; one that keeps your back straight, relieves strain on your spine, and allows you to sit for hours without having to adjust or wincing in discomfort every five minutes. The N-GEN Gaming Chair, priced at $90 (was $140), stands out because it has everything you need in a package that is far less expensive than high-end solutions.
David spent years cramming the complete first-person shooter into a Windows file no larger than a floppy disk. QUOD is exactly 64KB in size, complete with three levels, four enemies, four weapons, a boss fight, doors that slide open /shut, platforms that rise up, switches to flip, some decent particle effects for explosions, blood splatter on the walls, hidden secrets, a wavy water surface, music that loops and loops, and a good number of sound effects.
The new live-action Street Fighter film hits theaters on October 16, 2026, and fans are already expecting a world of difference from the sprite madness of the original arcade games. Meanwhile, a person named Moon Biscuit has been quietly working on something a little more in the vein of the old arcade games: a series of videos created using AI models that simulate showing us the behind-the-scenes action of a Street Fighter 2 live-action film.
Nintendo has resurrected a 1995 oddity and incorporated it into the Switch family, literally, as the original Virtual Boy sat on a table like a curiosity, a set of goggles perched on spindly legs offering 3D gaming without the need for glasses. Three decades later, almost to the day, a near-identical recreation of that table-top oddity is accompanying your Switch or Switch 2 console, launching the same old library via Nintendo Switch Online’s expansion pack.
Arnold (Arnov) Sharma grew up playing Mega Man X on an ancient Windows 98 computer. Years later, he turned those hazy memories of his childhood into something he could wear on his forearm. It’s not just a replica but a functional Mega Buster, also known as the Rock Buster. Every detail on this replica stays true to the original, thanks to accurate measurements made in Fusion 360, which started with a reference image scaled to 330 mm in length.
Tito of Macho Nacho Productions takes out his trusty screwdriver and goes to work on a limited edition Zelda Game & Watch from Nintendo that he received in 2020. This portable includes three iconic games: the original Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Link’s Awakening from the Game Boy. It comes with a great collection of features out of the box, including a crisp LCD screen, a nice D-pad, and separate start and select buttons. The battery life is adequate, and it even has a USB-C charging connection, but Tito wants to take this device to the next level.
The Logitech G435, priced at $39.99 (was $79.99), the type of quiet disruption budget gaming headsets need, delivers incredible lightness combined with respectable wireless performance, all without breaking the wallet. Logitech prioritized comfort when creating the G435. The thing disappears on your head during marathon gaming sessions, weighing just 165 grams (or around 5.8 ounces).
Rob Smith looked at the calendar last month, noting that February 14th marks 35 years since Lemmings dumped players into ludicrous puzzles on the Amiga. Green-haired creatures marched forward, oblivious to the dangers ahead unless you assigned them tasks such as building bridges or popping parachutes. Smith only wanted to produce an homage that caught one specific moment: the floater. That’s the little lemming that pops an umbrella and glides to safety in one piece. He created one that truly floats, supported by magnets that pull upwards from above.
