- IMPORTANT RULE REMINDER

It seems no one likes to listen, so guess I should put the important parts in big bold text to get your attention...

Don't create any article that lists the sign offs or sign ons of devices, those article has been removed many times due to it being too trivial to be put on here. Instead put the sign off content into the product's article. Failure to listen will cause a warning followed by a ban lasting a few weeks minimum depending on how bad you've broken the rules.

Time & Fun was a series of LCD game handhelds from VTech that was made around the time that Nintendo's Game & Watch handhelds were popular.

The handheld's designs originally looked more like Game & Watch handhelds with it's use of color, style, and the logo used. Later on they changed it to look more unique possibly because of a potential lawsuit against VTech. These handhelds have four different forms, those being;

  • Original - Normal sized handheld that mimics the look of Nintendo's Game & Watch handhelds. Has no extra features outside of the game, and clock
  • Mini - Smaller handheld with an original design, no extra features outside of the game, and clock.
  • Keychain (AKA Sporty) - Like the mini version, is a smaller form factor of the standard handheld but made small enough to be a keychain
  • Arcade - Defined by it's controls being a rotating disc.
  • Tini-Arcade - A handheld system that mimics the look of an arcade's display. Is the most largest sized out of the Time & Fun handhelds
  • Explorer - Typically adds some extra utilities/features to the device such as compass, and flashlight
  • Tri-Screen -?
  • Calculator - Also doubles as a calculator

For other dedicated game handhelds.
