Here's the full list of what I see:
A Slinky. Stratego. A Rubik's Cube. Nintendo Power Magazine. A Game & Watch. A Tamagotchi. A Pound Puppie.
A Magic 8-ball. A Troll Doll. A Furby. Simon. A can of Tab. A Boombox. A VHS Videocassette. Venetian Blind Sunglasses. An Atari 2600 and a Nintendo Entertainment System.
And finally, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the chibi sitting front and center playing NES is wearing Marty Jr.'s cap from Back To The Future 2.

There were two models of 2600. There was the 1977 wood-paneled "Atari Video Computer System" which is more famous.

Then, there was the 1986 "2600" model that launched as a desperate bid to reclaim market share in video games from the NES.

That model on the floor is an original 2600 VCS.

I know, right? When no one judged you for using passwords or cheat codes, and in fact, if you knew how to do them and when, you were worshipped.
A time when the biggest video game in the world could fit in the tiniest corner of a single modern ringtone, and yet to us it felt as big as the world itself.
A single megabyte or less of code could turn a child into a questing warrior or an ace pilot for hours at a time.
