You deserve a medal for your many victories

A close look at Supermandolini’s medals reveals a simple fact: almost every reader of BBG has earned one or both! Still, you’ll have to pony up €18 for each.

   The NES pin should play music after entering the Konami code, or at least give you 30 lives.

2. [HappyKhaos]

   I’m old,old school. I want a 2600 joystick and some pong paddles.

   @13 Olaf -

   I still don’t think I got there.

   #10 Bobsyeruncle – You beat me too it! You really are old, old, old school!

6. [Downpressor]

   Lame, unoriginal design (derivative of old german medals, minus 2 points for reichland fetishism), over priced and looks like its only wearable for a photo op (not even made as a real medal with a cloth ribbon, just a once piece stamp out with stick pin fastener).

   If you see your gaming buddy wearing this on a t-shirt, smack him right on the medal to “congratulate” him. The gasp of pain as that pin back goes into the flesh will be totally worth it!

   @16 I’ll take you off my gift list then.

   My 8-bit gaming wife loves them, and will soon be sporting one on her geekpunk jacket. Thanks for the post!

8. [dorkhero]

   Agree with #5 – Need something for we old Atari vetrans!

9. [OLAF9000]

   i think itsumishi did indeed just describe the awesome with words! whoa!… sudden brain implosion… followed by a higher state of conciousness…

10. [OM]

    …Sorry, but when I see “8-Bit”, I think 2600 or Colecovision, not one of those Nintendo jobs.

11. [BBNinja]

    I believe there are actually quite a few websites where you can submit designs and they’ll make pretty much any medal design you want.

12. [eustace]

    I earned the red one. Now I want a big Z for Zork…

13. [franko]

    @5 — hear, hear! i’m waving my cane right now and yelling, “where’s my joystick and pong paddle medal, you ingrates!”

14. [Anonymous]

    “Affordable” !? its 18 euros… i don’t know about you, but $27 before shipping isn’t exactly what i call affordable… sure, they are hand made and have a “gold finish”, but i think the console vets have paid enough as it were and these should come quite a bit cheaper.. more along the lines of $10USD Shipped.

15. [kodabar]

    I’m old, old, old, old school. I want Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine

16. [Loozrboy]

    Nice. But where’s the ginormous Dreamcast medal?

17. [bobsyeruncle]

    I’m old, old, old school. I want a big hoop and a stick.

18. [strider_mt2k]

    I’d love a mouse and keyboard one as I’ve done much more gaming on a PC.

    -or maybe a Game Boy or GBA SP one…

19. [michaelportent]

    Now I just need to dig out my British military garb and grow a thick, ridiculous mustache.

20. [RedShirt77]

    My user name appears in the Gears of War 2 Video.

    Does that make me eligible for a silver xbox star?

21. [OLAF9000]

    mere words cannot describe the awesome!
