5) Gary Coleman%26rsquo;s Gamecube
While some of the stars of cult 1980s sitcom Diff%26rsquo;rent Strokes wound up dead or in prison, diminutive hero Gary Coleman kept his head above water long enough to run against Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2003 California gubernatorial elections. Then he worked as a security guard. And now he%26rsquo;s flogged his GameCube on eBay, via a seller who recently offloaded a used pair of underpants. It went for $510.

6)Tetris scarf
If wearing your heart on your sleeve seems slightly impractical, how about wearing your passion for gaming around your neck? We love this fleecy Tetris scarf, which has felt shapes stuck on it and shows somebody about to make a right royal mess of the board, by dropping a long %26rsquo;un in a wrong %26rsquo;un. Hang on, none of the shapes are disappearing anyway. It%26rsquo;s impossible!
