These days, nostalgia is king.
How else can you explain figments of our youth getting modern-day resurrections every so often?
Apart from cyclical fashion items like bell-bottom jeans and chokers, the tech scene has also welcomed a bunch of old-school gadgets — all revived and with good measure.
From Tamagotchis to Polaroid cameras, it’s clear from these gems that old is gold.

6. Sega Mega Drive Classic & Genesis Ultimate Portable Game Player
Sega has hopped onto the nostalgia bandwagon in celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog’s 25th anniversary last year.
In collaboration with ATGames, they’ve relaunched the Sega Mega Drive Classic ($99) and Genesis Ultimate Portable Game Player ($110), which comes with 80 built in games, including all versions of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat.
Much like Nintendo’s re-release, the console has also been downsized to a miniaturised version. Good news for those who still have old Sega games lying around: The console supports original Genesis cartridges and classic Genesis controllers.
Unfortunately, the console does not come with a HDMI output. So if you really want to go old school, you might as well go old school all the way.
Available on Qoo10.
