A moment of appreciation for some peak 90’s industrial design.
First, the LJN VideoArt. The angled, dockable controller is so good. The plastic slider to select your color is so good. The blue cord is so good. The system itself not so good. But great work, designers.

Second, and this is maybe as good as it gets: the View-Master Interactive Vision, which overlaid on your VCR and even downloaded rudimentary games from VHS tapes.
What can I say. It’s a work of art that belongs in a 90’s museum. The controller alone. My god.

The dots actually serve a purpose: they have vent slits in them to passively cool the insides. And that green square is the power button — just slide it down.
At this time, View-Master was actually headquartered in Portland, so there’s some hometown pride in here for me. Was this designed in Portland too?!
(Ok it’s technically late 80’s design 😮💨)
