Yes, that's right, with the iPhone Pinball Magic you can convert your cutting edge gadget into a gadget from the past.
That gadget being a pinball machine. Just slip your iPhone into the pinball machine casing, download the free app and use the integrated ball-launching plunger, flippers and credit/select buttons to play. The light-up backbox and rotating beacon light reward your skills and high scores unlock new levels. Yes, real pinball – in miniature.
£29.99 is the price.
The old meets the new with the View Quest Retro 1 radio, which offers digital radio and a place to park your iPod or iPhone.
It's designed to look like a vintage radio, complete with leather casing and the all-important carrying handle. On looks alone, it's a winner. But it also has the modern-day functionality, with DAB/FM radio, 10 presets, an auto-scan function for finding stations plus the dock for playing your iPod/iPhone tunes through the 2x 2 watt speakers. A back-lit LCD screen finishes things off.
Just the red available right now, with other colours to follow. £99.99 is the price. See another image over the page.
You might recall the 8mm Vintage Camera app we featured a few weeks back. Well, now there's another operating in similar territory – the iSupr8 app for the iPhone.
It's not a million miles away from the other app in theory- shoot video directly from the app, giving it a film-burn just like Super 8 home movies. Once shot, you can watch your video back, save the videos to your camera roll, email them or add to Facebook. There's also the option to use the iPhone's LED spotlight for shooting in the dark.
A video over the page gives you an idea of how it works. Read the reviews of both apps before you go for one, but if you opt for this, it sells for $1.99 or £1.19.
As we seem to be on the verge of re-living the 1980s both politically and economically, you might want to accessorise yourself with something that fits the era – like this Thumbs Up iPhone case.
Yes, not only is it a case to keep your iPhone safe, it also turns your cutting-edge smartphone into one that looks like first generation yuppie's phone. Or Del Boy off Only Fools and Horses if you want a lower-rent comparison.
It still gives you access to all the controls and fits 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation iPhones, as well as giving your mates a laugh. Thing is, they might be laughing at you rather than with you. £12.99 gets you one.
Update: You can now buy one of these online from the Firebox website.
In a way, I'm surprised it's taken so long – a football manager game with a retro twist. Which is what you get with Championship Manager 70s Legends.
The title says it all, the long-running football manager sim now lets you manage a team full of 1970s legends – so buying the likes of Billy Bremner, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Pele, Johan Cruyff, and Franz Beckenbauer is just a click away. Not just the players, the rules have changed back to the 70s too, which means the likes of 2 points for a win and 1 substitute only in England.
Choose from seasons 1970/10 through to 1979/80 and various countries, with each season complete with authentic, illustrated news stories from throughout the decade reflecting events as they happened. Available for the iPhone and iPod touch, it sells for £1.79.

Yesterday we reminded you about our vintage camera apps article, but today we've spotted something equally as good for moving pictures – the 8mm Vintage Camera app for the iPhone and iPod touch.
It's as it sounds, an app that allows you to turn the video camera on your Apple device into a vintage movie camera. By mixing and matching films and lenses, you can recreate the atmosphere of a bygone era with 25 timeless retro looks, complete with dust and scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks, frame jitters, whatever you want to add for 'authenticity'.
