There seems to be a cushion theme going on in the contemporary merchandising of computer games stuff. This "tasteful" pillow clocked by Gamespy to celebrate the forthcoming Japanese promotion for the Xbox Live-enabled Dead or Alive Ultimate was announced last week, and these Famicom or Nintendo Entertainment System cushions were spotted in a Tokyo rumble shop back in June (courtesy of Tokyopia). I also recall a delivery of Parappa the Rapper cushions to the office in 2001.
If you prefer to wear your gaming collectables you can get loads of cool old skool NES items from US retailer Hot Topic including this wicked "1 Up" wristband. If anyone knows where to pick up these and other useful household merchandise things in the UK, please pass on the good word. I need to fill my new home with gaming paraphernalia.
Other items of computer games interest available: Parappa the Rapper toaster (courtesy of IGN). It toasts Parappa on your Mother's Pride! It will be mine. Tomb Raider chocolate. Not half bad. GameBoy Colour shoes. Ow. The impossible-to-track-down Pac Man watch
