Atari may be one of the most prominent nostalgia inducing Vintage Geek consoles out there. Its iconic VCS joystick and paddle have inspired crochet masterpieces, an army of tee shirts and plenty of second (and even third) generation fans. I can't decide if I think the Atari Keychain, $14.95, is geek chic, but I love the fact that you can pop one end of the supplied cable (which is on a separate battery-powered reel) into the joystick/paddle and stick the jack end in your TV. Yes, that's right, it actually works.
