As I was having my morning cup'o'joe and catching a little bit of the news before I went to work, the local Fox affiliate had a quick blurb discussing a midwest chain's intent to stock more handheld electronic and retro toys this Christmas because the 30-something parents are nostalgic about their childhood and want to involve their kids.
I gotta tell ya, if that's true, my wallet is going to be much lighter this Christmas as I make it a personal mission to grab as many as I can. The Coleco line of mini-arcades still fetch a pretty penny today on E-bay to collectors and some of the others out there are truly unique. I can't tell you how many hours I spent on this Pac-Man to the left. Maybe that's why I enjoy my PSP more than my Xbox 360? To spark your interest, check out these great links: Flickr Gallery of Electronic Games Mini-Arcade.com An Online Handheld Museum The HandHeld Games Museum And of course, don't forget the great Ralph Baer's Inventions .
