It&#8217;s also fun to share the simple joys of these timeless games with our own kids. They make the perfect stocking stuffers for adults and kids alike and are very reasonable priced.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7wgWWA-IXK4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Love the 80&#8217;s video games? Super Impulse offers a whole suite of mini-arcade games to enjoy. I actually have the original full-size Centipede game in my garage, and as much as I love it, it takes up a lot of space. These mini-sized arcade machines bring me such happiness, but in a scalable way! They offer: Ms. Pac Man, Pac Man, Frogger, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Space Invaders, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2KpAN31\">Pole Position<\/a>, Tetris, Rally X and Qbert. Although the game play is small, it&#8217;s completely doable. I was able to get to level 6 on Pac Man and I haven&#8217;t played in years!<\/p>\n<p>Other mini retro games that you&#8217;ll remember are &#8211; Rock &#8217;em Sock &#8217;em Robots, Pound Puppies, Fisher-Price items, Barbie dolls and accessories, Uno, My Little Pony, GI Joe, Care Bears and SO MUCH MORE!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check our the collection here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/page\/74A06754-6BA1-43F5-AB51-21CB11C2EB59?ingress=2&amp;visitId=d0da98a1-3635-48ae-b054-564292655a4a&amp;ref_=bl_dp_s_web_20133667011&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=boredmom04-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=6f3d02525a16b73359583ca9f9e4d072&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Impulse Miniature Toys<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=boredmom04-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently attended the Holiday of Play Virtual Toy Expo by Toy Insider seeking innovative educational STEM toys.
