Remember how awesome it was when you first played Zelda, and the world was so mind-blowingly huge that you had to track your progress on a map?

Now you can relive your gaming glory days with this new belt from NerdyShirts that's totally geekchic. The belt depicts the map from the original Legend of Zelda game, complete with Link (the game's main character), holding his sword. Plus, it comes in a tin case fashioned after an old Nintendo cartridge -- awesome!

This will go great with your other uber-hip retro-gaming gear -- like the joystick belt, Mario Bros underwear, or NES controller cellphone.

Admit it, you love being a dork.

Thank goodness the '90s are back! I was born in 1983, so the whole retro '80s thing was fun, but more or less lost on us younger 20-somethings. But now we've finally moved into a decade I can remember, and my childhood has officially become cool.

I love that grunge is back, but the trend I'm even more excited about is retro-gaming. People are modifying old bits of Nintendo gear and out-dated Nintendo images, and turning them into clothing accessories -- or, in this case, the coolest cell phone you've ever seen. Not only does the phone pay homage to the days you spent whoopin'' Koopa's butt, but it's totally functional.

Unfortunately, you can't buy the NES controller phone, as it's currently one of a kind. However, the guy who made it has mercifully laid out some very detailed, step-by-step instructions on his website. So, if you have a little time, and don't mind ripping apart an old controller, you can make your own!

If you decide to try this and you can actually make one that works, please send photos.

Here's a good excuse for people to stare at your chest -- an animated t-shirt from Think Geek featuring old school, video game table tennis. Classic!

With all the hubbub over retro gaming recently, this throw-back will undoubtedly win you points with the hipster set. Plus, it only takes two AAA batteries (concealed in an inside pocket) to work, and you can remove the image screen for washing -- thus, it actually seems wearable.

From the makers: Don't get too impressed. This was originally supposed to be the "Animated Gears of War Shirt" but by the time we strapped a 360 to the back of the shirt and added a flatscreen to the front it just wasn't feasible. The test subjects kept falling over, no one liked the car battery power supply duct taped to their leg and don't even get us started on the price.

Ok, so maybe it's not quite what they intended, but it's only $25, it looks awesome, and the animated gamers never miss a shot. I'm not sure it could get any cooler.
