Thrifty Holiday Gift Guide: Video Games

C.B. Jones
You don't have to break the bank to deliver holiday cheer. These are just a few not-so-pricey gift suggestions for the gamer in your life.

Blaze Sega Megadrive Handheld.
The Megadrive/Genesis put Sega on the map. It's the console that introduced the world to their green eyed, blue furred, spiky mascot, and helped to make the 16-bit era one of the greatest periods in video games.

Blaze's handheld contains 20 of the systems best titles(including gems like Golden Axe, and Revenge of Shinobi II), as well as an audio-video cable for playing the games on a television instead of its LCD screen.

Jinx Apparel.
Whats better than asserting your dominance over someone in an online video game? Asserting dominance while sporting spiffy clothing. Jinx specializes in making products geared toward geeks.

Aside from Pirates, Ninja and Monty Python references(Knights who say Ni), just about everything Jinx sells is tech related. Seeing as I still have a lot of fun playing video games from my youth, I'm partial to the
8 Bit X-ray shirt myself.

Video Game Energy Drinks.
Go from sluggish, to gorilla pumped. From rundown, to infectiously hyper. there's even an energy drink to unlock the princess rescuing plumber inside us all.

    Great article. Parents would be surprised if they new how easy it was to please the hardcore gamer. A mini refrigerator and a massive pack of ramen should do the job, if not, throw in a Zelda t-shirt.
