Waco (toymaker)

Waco was a Japanese toy manufacturer. It was known for manufacturing the handheld game Electro Tic-Tac-Toe. Released in 1972, the game is commonly cited as the first commercially available handheld electronic game. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] However some sources do not consider the Electro Tic-Tac-Toe to be the first handheld electronic game.[6]
