Game Wizard Games[]
There are 12 individual Barbie electronic LCD video games for ages 5 and up that include collectable secret surprise necklaces.[1] There is a Barbie version of the MGA Game Wizard hardware.
A set of the games was displayed at a 2014 exhibition at the Visual Arts center in Austin, Texas. The exhibition was by Rachel Weil, who founded the FEMICOM Museum, "the feminine computer museum."[2] In an article for The Guardian, Leigh Alexander wrote, 'The Barbie For Girls Portable Arcade Collection, six LCD handhelds still in their little blister packs, live in their fine museum glass vitrine, lit dramatically and treated as important historical artifacts. "The reality is these games were purchased very, very inexpensively on eBay," Weil laughs. "They're not considered to be collectible or valuable. What was really exciting to me was seeing, on the exhibit's opening night, younger girls and women who were just running over to the case and going, 'whoa, that's cool,'... something as simple as putting them in the case gave them value."'[3]
