Electronic Plastic displays a visually exciting survey of the snazziest oldschool computer games. First introduced in the mid 70s, kids were addicted to the portable handhelds and tabletops for about a decade. By today these computer games have become both rare and impressive eyecatchers, as well as landmarks of portable consumer electronics. Strikingly, their allround retrostyled casts, colourful packaging and bubbling typefonts showcase genuine 80s vibe.
