Tetris & Breakout piggy banks makes saving fun againBack in the day it cost just one quarter to play your favorite arcade machine. Well, now you can play two Atari arcade classics for just one penny. They aren’t totally faithful to the original arcade machines, but hey it only costs a penny and you get to save that penny. A penny played is a penny earned.

Every coin you drop in starts a new game, which is much cooler then say, dropping your coins in a bank shaped like a pig. These aren’t easy to find outside of Japan, but Strapya World is taking pre-orders and they will ship them worldwide. They’ll cost you $39.90.

Tetris + arm wrestling = Tresling
The world of geek sports just got more competitive. Tetris and arm wrestling have collided and now has a name. Trestling. Not since peanut butter collided with chocolate to create the Reeses cup, has there been such excitement.

It’s got everything a geek could want. It’s competitive and violent, with two players smashing their arms against sensors that move their blocks left and right. All to the tune of “Eye Of The Tiger” of course. Buttons control the rotation of the pieces. Do you have what it taks to become top dork in the championship tournament? It actually looks pretty fun and challenging. Check out a video below of the game in action.
