→Toy aisle consoles: added info
=Toy aisle consoles =
The toy aisle console started showing up in the 1990s, they orignally appealed to parents looking for something similar to the NES, SNES or Genesis but with a bigger focus on safe, generally educational content. These systems are usually not designed to compete with the bigger names in the industry but to serve a niche audience.
The name "Toy aisle consoles" comes from the fact that a majority of these consoles are sold in the toy aisles of stores, but this is not always the case.
(NOTE #1 - Be careful when adding systems; video games were seen as just toys until the end of the [[wikipedia:1993 United States Senate hearings on video games|1993 U.S. Senate video game hearings]])<br/>
(NOTE #2 - Not all educational computers belong here; a large majority of them are clones or reskins not noteworthy enough to be added)
