Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I very much agree.

How about those great little LED handhelds? You know, like Mattel Electronics Football, Baseball, Basketball, etc.

Or what about a stand-alone feature on the history of LED- and LCD-based games?

So, one entry might be all about those LCD-games of the '90s, like the stuff from Tiger Electronics.

So... what's the verdict, Racketboy?


Well they aren't off-limits. My normal rule of thumb is when they are no longer current.
But considering we have so many other older ones to cover still, they are a lower priority in my mind.

I know next to nothing about the SMS or 3DO and would like to learn more.

I didn't realize there isn't already an article for SMS. I'd like to see an article on SMS then!

P.S. I can help with the handhelds, I already own most of the Mattel handhelds that were produced though I don't know much about the other brands. I guess I was a Mattel Electronics fanboy! Still have the original boxes, packing and instructions too!
