MP3 Player Lets You Carry Your Music The Sony Walkman Style
As some of you may remember, Sony discontinued the manufacturing of their legendary music player, The Sony Walkman, not too long ago. The epic cassette player was once the state of the art music gadget to have, and we flaunted it any chance we got. As I remember, the cassettes could contain music ...
Pac Man Arcade Machine Cocktail Table
Back in the day when Pac Man was on the edge of gaming and the experience was beyond extensive, I remember having a yellow bulky thing, a handheld, that looked like a Pac Man itself. It was a small arcade Pac Man game that I played until the batteries actually started to give in and shed their liqu ...
Retro Pac-Man Cookies: Now You Can Chomp Those Ghosts!
Cookies are one of life's yummiest pleasures, and making them is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.

iRetrofone: The Badass iPhone Dock To Call Your Friends On
Are you sick of using that new yet same ole iPhone to call your friends? Sporting a new iPhone isn't generating the same cool it used to. Also, who knows what microwaves are cooking your brain when using it. Even though there are scientific reports on pretty much every commercial cell phone out t ...
Pixel Star Wars: Welcome Back To The 8-Bit Days!
Many people who remember the '80s know that the pixel was the most favored computer generated substance. Everything was built up of pixels, and it made our days fun and exciting.

Retro Seating: Now You Can Literally Sit In Your Fridge!
Many things can be modified or beautified, but few things can be turned into something entirely different and still be useful in a whole new way.

8 Deliciously Vintage Star Wars Travel Posters
See, I haven't had a vacation in like 8-9 years now, and I am really starting to crave one. It's not like I have ever felt it necessary to have one since I love what I do for a living. It's just that when everyone keeps telling me what a nice time they had in Vegas, Dubai or any other place they v ...
Zelda Art Like You’ve Always Wanted It To Look!
Wow, it just took me about one second to fall in love with the Zelda game series once again. I finished the first game in the first 36 hours after it was released (or at least after I bought it). I have never been so addicted to a game series (except Myst, Eve-Online and World of Warcraft). The m ...
Retro Cartoons: Star Wars And Indiana Jones Awesomeness!
Man did I just get a jolt of retro feel showered all over me. I guess we've covered how awesome '80s movies were (and still are) here on Bit Rebels so no need to go into all that again. However, when it comes to Star Wars and Indiana Jones, there is simply no competition (except for a bunch of hor ...
Retro Bakelite Phone: The True MP3 Player Speaker System!
I always wonder if there is anything out there at all that can actually rival the iPod in terms of sales and market share. I mean, I have honestly been to lazy to find out, but it seems as if Apple has pretty much monopolized this field. By the looks of it, that is not subject to change anytime so ...
Star Wars Wrestling: The Posters!
I don't know what it is lately, but I have come to love the retro ad campaigns and the way they look. They make me all giddy inside, and I think it's because of all the memories that come back to me when I see them. There is something about these posters and ads that truly speak to you. Nowadays ...
The Cassette Tape Wallet: Retro With A Twist
What is it with our cassette tape fascination? We've written so many articles about cassette tape inspired products, and it seems more and more are being created each day. Is it just because we love everything retro, or is there more to it than that?
I think these colorful, squishy, rubber, wat ...
The $7,000 Arcade Bowling Game Is Here!
Game freaks are fanatic over the old arcade game cabinets that once graced the space in the school arcade halls. There was something magic about putting those quarters into the machines and just kicking some butt. Breaking records was our main focus, and it meant something back then. Today's scor ...
Bring The ’80s: VHS Retro Skins For Your Every Gadget!
There was a time not too long ago when you had to put stickers on your laptop (or whatever gadget you wanted to put a custom design on) or draw on it to personalize it. Then came the skins that made this whole endeavour a lot more creative. You no longer had to be an artist to crank out the cool o ...
Bring The ’80s: The Brick Cell Phone Is Back!
Why not cherish those retro days of the '80s and applaud the achievements that made today into what it is? The technology breakthroughs back then were way more in your face than they are today, and the gadgets were all about being "big!" Nowadays it's all about being small. You got to give it to ...
