"Educational Computer" systems

Recommended Posts

Does anybody actively collect "Educational Computer" systems? By this, I mean things like the Sega Pico, the Socrates, and most anything made by V-Tech. These are cartridge based and do hook up to the TV.

 

Most of these systems do play games (of a sort) but they are primarily aimed at the 6-and-under set.

 

For some reason, I've been seeing these lately -- they are less common than the NES, but they are much more common than any Classic system (around here, at least).

If I'm not mistaken, the Sega PICO is essentially a Sega Master System repackaged as an educational system (the sound and graphics are identical). I think there were some kind of Sonic titles made for it, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

 

Not sure about the system or its rarity factor, but you can still find some of the carts at some dept stores like Ames.
