An ideal budget Christmas gift for a boyfriend or older brother – miniature versions of the classic hand-held games console known as the Nintendo Gameboy.
If you can remember the 1980’s then you’ll remember the Nintendo Gameboy; for those who are two young the Gameboy was a hand-held games console that allowed arcade games fans to play away all day wherever and whenever they felt the need. Yes, it was like the games function on your mobile handset – but without a mobile handset attached!
These primitive gaming machines may well seem a little kitsch but if you want to buy an inexpensive gift for a man over the age of 30 you won’t go far wrong with these miniature versions of a classic gaming console.
The key rings are almost exact replicas of the original Nintendo Gameboy and are available in 3 colours with a version of a popular classic arcade game installed.
Gameboy Classics on a Handy Key-Ring Chain
Super Mario Bros – manipulate the super plumbing super hero to jump between the scrolling platforms and race to rescue a princess while you wait patiently in the next traffic jam.
Donkey Kong Jr – assist a junior ape to open padlocks by jumping in between vines.
Mario’s Cement Factory – help the classic plumbing character to save the cement from overflowing?
The Nintendo Mini Classics can be attached to a key ring, or sat on a desk for those odd moments when the boss isn’t looking. There is also a handy clock and alarm feature built in and unlike their full sized cousins – batteries are included.
