"Everyone has heard of Game Boy. But does anyone
still remember its predecessors, the hand-held devices of the 1970s
and 1980s? They
are now beeing rediscovered: As design products of an age in which
we imagined the year 2000 as it might be in a science-fiction film."

"The days of watching lads, heads down, thumbs-a-pumpin',
strolling blindly into lampposts may be consigned to the history
books, but with
Electronic Plastic it's just as much fun laughing at the pictures of
the games as it ever was playing them."

"...if you thought these games were cool back
then, they've doubled their street cred now."
