I am sufficiently old to recall when VHS tapes had been the principle technique of getting my big-screen leisure at dwelling – lengthy earlier than DVDs, Blu-Rays and digital streaming got here alongside.
Subsequently, it is fairly straightforward to see why Retro Fighters’ Terminator 2 Mini VHS case connects with me on a number of ranges; firstly, I am keen on James Cameron’s movie, and really feel it represents one of many purest motion flicks ever produced by Hollywood (I am sure many different individuals of their mid-40s really feel the identical means).
Secondly, I fondly recall a time when the common-or-garden VHS tape was an essential medium, reasonably than a relic of a retro-chic previous.
There is a third purpose this specific product chimes with me personally: it opens as much as function a storage resolution on your Swap and Swap 2 video games.
Granted, this may very well be seen as a reasonably odd flip of occasions, but it surely’s made considerably extra comprehensible as soon as you fit in your copy of the excellent Terminator 2D: NO FATE, which launched lately on Swap. A match made in heaven!
Costing $20, the case holds 12 Swap video games (cushioned in silicone slots) and 4 MicroSD playing cards, and there is a magnetic latch to make sure it stays firmly closed whenever you’re travelling.
I’ve to confess, I could be a little cautious about taking this out and about because the stickers are more likely to choose up bumps or scratches, however for protecting my assortment in a single place at dwelling, it makes extra sense – and it appears to be like good on the shelf, too.
The case is available in a cardboard slip-case and a set of stickers – and Retro Fighters insists this can be a strictly limited-edition deal, so in the event you like what you see, you would possibly need to buy one fairly swifty.
