1. Atari 2600 in a joystick One of the trailblazers of 8-bit gaming, the whole system with multiple games now fits into a single joystick controller.

Connect it to your giant plasma screen for an experience you couldn't have had in '77. Price: $20.

2. 1960s Spy Phone Like something out of a Sean Connery era James Bond film, these groovy phones were state of the art, even with a rotary (now pushbuttons in a circle) dialer. Handsets like these were seen in classic 1960s spy movies and even in the Jon Pertwee Doctor Who days. It's not a bad way to rediscover your land line. Price: $60

3. 1940s Field Radio Alarm Clock Before injection molded plastic cases, electronic instruments were often in hand-crafted wooden boxes.

Price: $150

4. Bigtrak Jr Rover The Bigtrak Jr is a slightly scaled-down version of its 1970s predecessor, the Big Trak, but with all the same functions of the original. The original sold for $50, and was forever the bane of pets and parents of budding computer programmers. This one? Price: $25

5. iCade for iPad Six-foot-tall cabinets were necessary to house board after board of chips, transistors and giant CRT monitors.

The iCade will transport you back to the glory days of the arcade, and looks good doing it. Price: $80

6. USB Record Player Like the difference between an electronic image made up of pixels on a computer monitor and a photograph produced with film, true audiophiles will tell you that there is a noticeable difference in the analog sound reproduced from vinyl and the audio samples in a digital reproduction. You can spin your vinyl on this wooden replica of a 1950s-1970s turntable, and can use your computer to clean up your old tunes with the included software, too. Price: $160

7. Old School LED Watch As what we consider the best of retro tech peaked during the 1970s, the red LED was a sign of one's geek status. Now this wearable piece of history can be yours again.

8. Commodore 64 Boasting excellent sound and graphics for the time, the Commodore 64, and its cousin the Vic-20, brought serious affordability to the personal computer market in the early 1980s. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, this is a modern PC in a Commodore 64 case. There's a hobbyist’s barebones build for $350, and the units come reasonably well-equipped for the sticker tag. Price: $1,000-$1,500

9. Bomba Flip Clock Solid proof that there were digital clocks before LEDs. These old flip clops used to come in imitation wood-grain cases, abut you can have one that's a modern take while still showing off its mechanical magnificence. Price: $80
