History is written by the victors, but for all those generations of console wars we've managed to weather through, what about the other guys? Opening this week, a new games museum in southern Japan houses 56 different consoles of varying fame (or infamy). For every NES/Famicom, there are curiosities like the huge "Pocket Home PC," failing on the very definition of its name. Remember the Sega Game 1000? We didn't, but we should probably cut these (mostly) beige consoles some slack. While most of the devices toured here weren't a commercial success, each helped gently push gaming toward its current state -- if only by firmly demonstrating what we didn't want. And yeah, we wish the Dreamcast was still around too. Here's to the games consoles we've loved and lost over the last 40 years.

Retro Lunch Hour
Back in the day, two things were for certain during our youth: Nintendo reigned supreme, and cool lunch boxes were the shit. This recent design found on Etsy combines both of these childhood staples into one awesome lunch container. The Nintendo Entertainment System Lunch Box was created with a suitcase handle and interior line in vinyl tape. Unfortunately currently out of stock online, hit the thumbs for a detailed look at the Nintendo Lunch Box. [DesignYouTrust]
