There were times when even genuine original game consoles had just one built-in
game and *that was it* :P

Still it was all the craze back then...

BTW, some people would buy those ripoff consoles even if they didn't look like
popular top-of-the-crop models. You don't swim in money but want your pre-teen
kids to STFU? Get them something cheapo with several dozen built-in games - one
or two will be good enough to keep them busy. And you don't need to have long
arguments about requests for the newest and latest games: They won't run on
that box anyway :)

I guess it's a bit different though as soon as the kids reach teen age...
