We’ve heard it many times: kids today are too busy sat playing video games, they’re not getting any exercise, it wasn’t like this in the olden days, yada yada. But what if we told you there’s now a way to get active AND play computer games at the same time! That’s exactly what you get with the Retro Gaming Mat. This jumbo-sized controller has been designed with your feet in mind! Now you can stomp all over the baddies (quite literally) and beat your high score whilst getting up and active at the same time.
There are 140 8-bit games pre-installed on to the mat, simply connect to a TV and get tapping, jumping, and hopping. The mat is big enough to have two people playing at the same time, or you can go solo if you prefer to workout/play alone.
If you think you’ve burned off enough calories for the day you can also control the mat with your hands. Pop it on a coffee table or kneel in front of it to use it like a normal controller, albeit an absolutely humongous one!
As you would expect the mat easily folds away when not in use plus the material can be wiped clean after use.
Combining exercise with gaming, the retro gaming mat ticks all the boxes for both the kids and the parents. Definitely more win-win than game over!
