With the holidays quickly approaching, there are some classic gamers out there who may be a bit tough to buy for.  After all, the whole point of retro gaming is reveling in the old, not the new, and virtually everything they have interest in was probably released and purchased twenty years ago.  Fortunately, some present-day companies are making some new products that, while not exactly playable, are sure a lot of fun for the old school gaming enthusiast.  Since it is a classic, Atari seems to be a hot choice of themes for these new products.

For only four bucks, you can pick up a candy tin shaped like a classic Atari joystick.  There is a host of T-shirts available with Atari designs, and for forty dollars, you can pick up the Atari Flashback 2+, an old school Atari game with 40 of its greatest hits built right into the console.  Of course, if you prefer the old cartridges, eBay always has a huge selection, and even offers some of the old specialized cartridge cases for housing your collection.  And no Atari gamer should be without a “Game Over” key ring.  Finally, pick up a copy of Atari User Magazine, and you probably have it all covered
