Though our Festival of Mundanity is quickly coming to an end, we can still appreciate these classic LEGO game consoles from yesteryear gone by. We can almost hear the photos of these brick-built old-school video game systems!

Oh The Retro Feels

August 06, 2015/ Tommy

As a card carrying charter member of the 8-bit club (no, that's not a real thing) I have the deepest affection for this MOC by Burglarhobbit. When we popped in the cartridge for The Empire Strikes Back way back in 1980 we marveled at the graphics, they were so "lifelike". Oh those were simpler times. Fun fact, I still have the poster for this game rolled up in my garage, it's rad.

Who Wants To Play Space Invaders?

June 10, 2014/ Tommy

I was 13 when my grandpa Chet surprised us with our very own Atari 2600, the perfect age. We played that thing until our hands ached and our eyes bled. And when we went to bed, we could still see invaders from space when we closed our eyes, good time. Very nostalgic build lego27bricks.
