This calendar isn’t exactly the most practical thing, since there’s no place to write down your appointments, but that doesn’t make it any less appealing to retro gamers like me.

This Space Invader calendar has a single colorful invader for each day in 2011. You can either just sit back…

If you don’t remember the Commodore SX-64, it was the retro computer maker’s first attempt at a portable computer. The beastly box weighed in at a backbreaking 23 pounds. Thankfully, this papercraft version is a little lighter.

Erik Schubach created this teensy-tiny “executive” SX-64 entirely out of paper (and maybe…

If you have your Christmas hopes set on getting a shiny new iPad to play, with you might be in luck if the deal over on Evolyte makes it. Evolyte describes itself as the “superhero baby of Woot and Groupon that never cries.”… It’s a group buying site where you

Kinect hacker Yankeyan is at it again. Last time, he made a lightsaber with his Kinect. This time, he’s playing Super Mario Bros.… – as Mario.

By taking his physical movements and converting them into running and jumping movements for Mario, he’s managed to create the first controller-free version of
