It looks like it shares some design DNA with the TalkBoy! Guess it comes from being a 90s futuristic kids toy.
- Yeah, personally I find the TalkBoy a bit more Poochie-ish but both have that cheap-futuristic vibe:
It even has the analog to digital converter box we all used to play video games on our old televisions.
- Well spotted!
  It did ring a bell, but wasn't sure what it was.
Modify your pxl2000 to use a video out jack! (For when the cassette’s bust.)
It used a regular audio cassette, so the video was really crappy.
