This sweet timepiece pays homage to a classic form of gaming -- the only bad thing about it is that you won't actually be able to play any games on it, it'll just tell you the time. Nonetheless though, it truly has a great nostalgic feel to it. The piece was obviously created for the nerdy at heart. It comes from the design team at [Games World](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jo-malone-fun-games) and is available to purchase on its site. Just like the [classic game boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set), it's grey and has the small screen and buttons on it.
