For your granddaughter who loves vintage video games, there are several gift ideas that would surely bring a smile to her face and enhance her collection. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Retro Video Game Console: Consider purchasing a retro video game console that includes classic games from the past. These consoles often come pre-loaded with popular titles, allowing your granddaughter to relive the nostalgia of playing her favorite vintage games. Popular options include the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Classic Edition or Sega Genesis Mini.

2. Vintage Game Cartridges: Expand her collection by gifting her vintage game cartridges for her favorite gaming systems.

This will not only make her feel more connected to the games she loves, but also allow her to display her passion to others.

4. Arcade Experience: If possible, take her to a local arcade that still has vintage games or a retro gaming convention. This experience will not only allow her to enjoy her favorite games in their original format but also provide an opportunity for her to meet other gaming enthusiasts and potentially expand her collection.

5. Gaming Artwork: Look for artwork or prints featuring her favorite vintage video game characters. This could include illustrations, posters, or even framed game covers. It will add a touch of nostalgia to her room and make her space feel more personal.

Some popular choices include "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" and "Video Games: The Movie."

7. Retro Gaming Accessories: Help enhance her gaming experience by giving her retro gaming accessories, such as a classic-style controller, a joystick, or even a vintage-style handheld gaming device. These accessories will allow her to play her favorite games with an authentic feel.
