Boyden* INTRODUCTION Games are deceptively simple objects of human culture.1 They are familiar, commonplace, and often easy to learn: young children play them at an early age. For most people, games are a pastime, a form of recreation that involves relatively little preparation or time commitment.2 They are thus the very opposite of work, and hardly comparable to such serious pursuits as scholarship or art.3 For all their seeming ingenuousness, however, games are also deeply puzzling. Defining games is a notoriously difficult enterprise.4 Scholars from several different disciplines have struggled to determine what the nature, or essence, of games really is. And the elusiveness of games poses problems for intellectual property law as well.

Auctions To Bid On Hasbro's "I Choose You Pikachu™" Toys Charity Auction of "Must Have" Toy for Holiday Season to Benefit Hasbro Children's Hospital CINCINNATI, OH -- December 2, 1999 -- Consumers can help make a difference in the lives of children this holiday season by heading to Yahoo!® Auctions (http://auctions.yahoo.com). Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) today announced that it has teamed with Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) to host a series of online auctions of Hasbro's "I Choose You Pikachu," already a hot toy since making its retail debut in November. "I Choose You Pikachu" is the first in a series of electronic plush Pokémon toys to be released by Hasbro, Nintendo's worldwide master toy and board game licensee for Pokémon. "Pokémon, The First Movie " opened to record box office attendance in November. "I Choose You Pikachu" is no ordinary plush toy; it is an electronic plush version of the most popular Pokémon character of all, #25 Pikachu. The adorable eight-inch huggable Pikachu is the ultimate combination of today's hot electronic plush toy and the even hotter Pokémon phenomenon. All proceeds from the Yahoo! charity auction will benefit Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. The more that kids interact with their "I Choose You Pikachu," the more talkative it gets. Squeeze its hand and Pikachu's mouth wiggles while saying its name (at first, "Pi," then "Pi-ka," then "Pikachu!").

  • Some Key Toy Manufacturers
    45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:53 am Page 41 Some key toy manufacturers Britain Abbatt Toys Paul and Marjorie Abbatt were pioneers of innovative educational toys in the 1930s. They set up in business in 1932 selling toys to friends and by mail order from their flat in Tavistock Square, London. Demand was such that in 1936 they opened a child friendly shop at 94 Wimpole Street, designed by their friend the architect Ernö Goldfinger. The Abbatts were his main clients at the time and he designed toys and nursery equipment for them. They were concerned with the play needs of children in general, introducing a range of toys for children with physical disabilities devised by Milan Morgenstern. In 1951 they were instrumental in setting up the Children’s Play Activities Trust Ltd. to promote excellence in toy design and manufacture. After Paul Abbatt died in 1971 the business was bought by the Educational Supply Association. William Britain Ltd. Britains Ltd. was founded by William Britain in London in 1840. At first Britains made tin and clockwork toys and from the 1890s they made model soldiers. It also opened an office in Paris, France in 1905. The company made munitions for both world wars. In 1954 Herald miniatures, makers of unbreakable plastic toys, became a subsidiary of Britains. In 1966 Britains ceased to manufacture its metal soldiers. It was purchased by Ertl Co. in 1997. The Chad Valley Co. Ltd. The Chad Valley trademark was first registered in 1897 when the original company of Johnson Brothers added games to its stationery range.
