Lyra is a handheld games console with a twist. It doesn't come with any games, you put it together yourself (or pay extra to not) and it can double as a personal computer and a Raspberry Pi testbed. It's a quirky offering that could appeal to the classic console fan who loves to tinker.

It’s hard to hook up the analog outputs of the original Nintendo 64 to the digital inputs of a modern TV. Now a small company called Eon has stepped in to fill the void with the Super 64, an adapter that lets you plug the console into an HDMI port, and upscales the resolution.

Back in the late 1950s, music gear maker Valco added a new guitar to its Supro line called the Triple Tone. It was only sold for a year or so, making originals very hard to come by. But Supro has now relaunched this eye-catching tone-meister in the shape of the 2019 Tri Tone.

​When it comes to weird little old cars, the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller was one of the delightfully weirdest. Five years ago, we heard about a new pedal-electric version of the vehicle, known as the Veloschmitt. Although that model is no longer available, its successor has now entered production.

Though stripped back and designed for speed and handling rather than cruising comfort, the Café Racer motorcycles of the 1960s continue to inspire modern two-wheelers to this day. And it's to this retro-cool design book that California bicycle maker Electra has turned to create the Café Moto Go!
