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.
