90's phone














A cool usb-phone that can be used with Skype and also reminds of a 90's phone. I want it!

Ridge Racer

















Ridge Racer - An old Playstation game that contained cars which had excellent handling. Although, the handling was highly unrealistic, but very fun since you could brake really cool through the curves. It was a bit tricky to get the cool brake turns, but when you finally got it you were filled with a great sensation of accomplishment. Me and my brother used to play this game a lot so I'd say that it qualifies as a qualitative retro game.
Fun: 4/5
Car handling: 4/5

New Logo







I've made yet another logo! :D I think this one is better than the last one, but what does the Skipzor think?

Sandra - Innocent Love

Check this out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKrckJ4Idxs
It's the music video for Sandra's Innocent Love.
Skipzor's tip about Sandra got me looking for more of her music and what can I say; I felt for her music right away! Respect to Skipzor and his knowledge in sweet 80's music that makes life worth living! ;D

Fetro Retro Logos







I've made a cool logo prototype for the Fetro Retro blog/webzine. Will this be to Skipzor's liking or should I rework the current concept into another style?

The Power Glove

















The Power Glove - a sophisticated instrument for immersing yourself into virtual and interactive worlds during the 1980's. The Power Glove could also be used for dominating your opponents since it gave the user a boost of confidence and coolness with its futuristic design and technology.
To operate the Power Glove one would need the video game system Nintendo Entertainment System, also refered to as the NES, which has great platform games.
I have unfortunately never had the privilege of using the Power Glove but one day I will yield its powers and become the ultimate gamer!!!

Effetiveness: 4/5 - Boosts the players morale thus making his/hers skills better
Coolness: 5/5 - A space looking glove with which you can control digital characters? AWESOME!
Retro factor: 4/5 - An icon of the 80's technological progress

(data has been based upon observations from the 80's movie "The Wizard" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098663/ )

Sandra - Mirrors



This album rocks! Not really rocks, but vibes with electro and ambient sounds. I dont know how many times I have turned this LP on my parent vinyl-player.
The album cover reveals a totally hot young woman. The ones you cant find out there today. Beautiful and sexy without beeing exposed. Inside, the red background Sandra is wearing an awesome 80s outfit that makes her look futuristic and yet retro. I found out that the music and Sandra herself are produced in Germany. Awesome production! My fav song my be "Two lovers tonight". Its sad and just makes me long for a rainy autumn night,, reflecting on how beautiful and complex life is.
