They couldn't keep the Atari Flashback 2 in stock when it first came  
out -- I looked all over town trying to find one.  (Mmmm, COMBAT on an  
HDTV...)

Some of those handhelds are Nintendo 8-bit machines, and I have also  
seen a Sega Genesis as well as a Commodore 64. (The original Atari  
Flashback unit was an NES, with the games just ported.)

So, Radio Shack could have, if nothing else, brought out a PC TRS-80  
Model I/III or CoCo emulator. The 25th anniversary of the Model I  
passed with only a press release, if I recall.
