HANDHELDEN
HANDHELDEN is the website for the Electronic Plastic book, which Buro Destruct made back in '04. On it, you'll find loads of old school electronic games, sorted by manufacturer. Remember Donkey Kong, the old pixel version with the clamshell design handheld unit? Back in '93, all the cool guys in my school had one of those AND one of the cowboy ones. I got this lousy submarine one. Damn I want that cowboy one.
Back then, we didn't have fancy schmancy 3-D graphics and surround sound. It was single toned pixels and beep beep sounds. Every game had its own console and you marvelled at the simple fun it provided. Of course, my parents would say, way back, we only had rocks to play with, but that's beside the point. Fact is, a lot of games today are senseless updated version of the old ones. Thankfully, HANDHELDEN will remind us of nostalgic times gone by.
