7 Do You Hold On to Old VHS Tapes?
It may be nearly Fall, but I've been doing a ton of Spring cleaning of my own and recently came across my stash of VHS tapes from high school and college. Funny enough, I haven't had a VCR in years — but two years ago most of you said you still had one. I'm not sure why I'm holding on to the tapes; nostalgia, maybe? I keep telling myself I'll convert them to digital format at some point. Until Read more
Geek Community member Mee-Shell shared this post in the Vintage Geek group. The other night, a few friends and I totally geeked out by watching YouTube videos. And since I love all things Nintendo, it was a must to watch all its old school commercials. My favorite of the night was this one for the original Legend of Zelda. It's straight out of 1986, and features a rap that can't be missed. Also Read more
I freaked out when I saw this rare hot pink and neon yellow Polaroid 600 Cool Cam on Etsy, 'cause it's retro in the best way. We see plenty of old timey gadgets popping up in our Vintage Geek group, but never one this bodacious. Coming with a black carrying case (although I don't know why you'd want to cover this bad boy up), it's priced right at $88 — which I think is the year it's taking me Read more
All things old are new again as vintage gadgets and tech come back with a bang. Since you can already turn your iPhone photos into cool vintage-looking pics in more than a few ways, it's only natural that there would eventually be an iPhone 3GS app that turns your on-the-go videos into retro styled mini movies. Called the Vintage Video Maker, this $3 app is worth its weight in fun — just Read more
The Vintage Geek Group has been seeing some action lately, and I had to post this video that group member tdamji sifted from the Youtube racks! Try to hold back the nostalgia as you see Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, even the tracking adjustment of a VCR of yore. Oh yeah. I WAS the first. If you see more stuff like this — vintage gadget anything — show us! Join the Vintage Geek group and be a Read more

The Vintage Geek Group is at your service, and we're eagerly waiting for you to submit some cool old ad or gadget.

I've been getting really giddy lately when I watch movies I've grown up with, and see the old technology that was hot at that time. I highlighted old Apple IIs and some goofy faux gadgets from Back to the Future 2, Doogie Howser's geeky 80's blogging, and some fabulous old ads. I am even pretty sure I saw my current crush Paul Rudd's Nintendo commercial when it originally aired! So join my Read more
