The RetroBeat: Retro gifts for the nostalgic gamers in your life

The holidays and retro gaming are two of my favorite things in the world, so I think I’m in a good position to help you find gifts for the friends and family in your life who would rather see Nintendo and Capcom than Currier and Ives under their tree.

I tried to gather a list of potential presents that can appeal to different kinds of retro gamers. I also tried to find items that make up a decent price range (so don’t freak out when you see the $245 gift that I suggest).
