In a sea of boob mousepads and nose hair desktop toys, we sometimes forget about all of the truly awesome stuff coming out of Japan. For instance, they have Famicom claw games over there.

For the equivalent of about $1, you can try your luck at scoring one of these retro cartridges. Sure, that’s probably about the same price you might find it in a bargain bin at an Akihabara shop, but that copy of After Burner will be that much sweeter since you earned it.

Needless to say, this is probably not the kind of thing you want to bring to work—unless you happen to work in a Japanese factory that makes boob mousepads.
