I'm building a retro gaming cave this Prime Day, here's what's in my cart

Attic with couch, shelves, retro games, and plush toys with badge in bottom left corner that reads "Prime Day deals".

To me, Prime Day is a prime opportunity to finish my retro gaming room, and I bet I'm not the only one. While it's easy to throw a bunch of old consoles and games into a space and call it a day, it's those finishing touches that make all the difference. Adding furniture, décor, merch, and accessories into the mix can be an expensive endeavour, so using Amazon's Big Deal Days to your advantage will help stretch your pennies. 

Yes, I know having a collection of the best retro consoles is what ultimately makes a gaming cave, and you might be able to find a few of those among other Prime Day gaming deals. However, as someone who covers vintage tech for a living, I find that the real challenge is finding discounts on everything else. That's especially true when it comes to avoiding garish gamer gear tropes and the same old Swedish flatpack bits. No offence, Billy, but you don't help my space feel special when you serve as a bookcase in 99% of rooms out there.
