There’s something intrinsically cool about the NES.

Maybe it’s because it came from a time when games had to be playable first and look good second. And even though I never actually owned one, I’ve always been a Nintendo true-blood.

I’ve gone from Gameboy to SNES to N64 to Gamecube to Wii, with never so much as a minuscule hint of a Sega or a Sony to sully the Wario waters. And that’s why I’m loving these external hard drives.

They’re all custom-built by a company called 8-bit Memory and are available to buy here. I hope they sell millions.

Okay, so it’s not actually real, and the pluspad may look suspiciously unusable, but wouldn’t it look great on your desk at work? Oh yes it would.

Tapping into 80s retro games, TV shows, music and culture is an easy-win for lazyass designers – especially on t-shirts – but I’m still a sucker for it…most of the time.
