Pretty much everyone within a certain age range has some sort of experience with an NES: either you had one, you wished you had one, or you went to your friend's house every day just to play it. (I fell into the latter category.) Now you can relieve those glory days every time you wake up with this imported NES Alarm Clock. The D-Pad and face buttons are used to change the time alarm mode and time; the alarm sounds come from Super Mario Bros. There's also a built-in mini-game for good measure.

No, it won't change the world, but at least you'll be able to prove your true colors to your siblings or roommates. It's imported, so brush up on your Japanese. Only £15, too. – Nicholas Deleon
