This thread is for awesome games/toys/electronics u loved but never caught on to mass appeal
I will start with:
Before smartphones there was this little handheld gaming/computing device called a cybiko
This thing was awesome. You could chat and play games with ur friends wireless (although range wasnt great). I was a freshman in high school when this came out. Keep in mind this was before high school students had phones or could text. So I would be able to text and play games with the very few (I think 3 other) people in my school who had one. Its too bad it never caught on it had a lot of potential.
Anyone could develop games and apps for it, as a result there was a strong online community developing great free games. The manufacturer also made free games all the time. You could add an mp3 player.
I loved this little machine. It tried its hardest to be a smartphone before smartphones. For its time it was truly fun and amazing.
