You might be interested in the design philosophy of Yokoi Gunpei who was the original creator of the GameBoy as well as the Love Tester and other pre-Famicom Nintendo, "toys" from the 70's. He called the design philosophy he utilized, "lateral use of withered technologies" and, I can't agree with you enough about the, "magic" of the those peripherals from 90's and early 2000's; I think the design philosophy drives some of the magic. It's all very coherent and functional.

- quirino 4y agoVery interesting concept, really liked this bit: > In the handheld market, Yokoi's refusal to adopt a color display for the Game Boy in favor of long battery life is cited as the main reason it prevailed against Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx.
