Owning an electronic game in the 1970s and 1980s meant having the future in your pocket. Carrying your electronic toy with you and playing it whenever and wherever you wanted was a revolutionary idea for the time! By pressing simple control buttons, the player was immersed in a video game adventure that could be experienced alone or with others. Destroy more enemies, go faster, further, increase your score, beat your own records: what an adventure! With their futuristic and colorful designs, these games reflected the inventiveness of the manufacturers and they met the fashions and expectations of the time. Having become cult objects for some, or "Proust's madeleine" for others, in the "all digital" era, vintage electronic games fascinate several generations and are increasingly collected and restored by a growing community of enthusiasts. Whether they feature VFD fluorescent displays, LCD liquid crystals, or LED screens, in 2D or 3D versions, in color or black and white, equipped with a directional cross or a joystick, and powered by battery or solar energy, the models of electronic games are numerous. There are several types: handheld games, Table Top, Head to Head, Multi Screen, Flip Top or with interchangeable screens. Presenting more than 500 different models of electronic games and portable consoles, the Electronix book provides a retrospective of the most popular models produced during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s by major toy companies such as Nintendo, Tomy, Mattel, MB, Bandai, Casio, Coleco, Lansay, Tiger, Yeno....
