Here's a little info on each of the candidates, more can be found via Google.

Socrates Educational Video System: I own this, so I voted for it. An ancient (1982) educational toy with an infrared keyboard that had built-in game pads. Mostly used in children's hospitals and the like.

Master Painter and Video Painter These were basically computer paint programs contained in a drawing tablet that plugged into your TV.

Creativision: This was a 1981 computer/game console hybrid, basically the same as a VTech Laser 500 computer.

VSmile: This is a modern (2000s) offering from VTech, a 2D cart based educational system with games that look astonishingly like Macromedia Flash games.

VFlash: A 3D CD-based educational system that looks like a low-end PS1.

I voted for the So-Crates since he was pretty cool.

Yay Socrates! I had one when I was younger. It was like mariopaint before there was mariopaint.

I've been threatening to get one for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Don't know anything about this, although I saw a V-smile in a store a couple of months back. Tried it a little, some Winnie the Pooh game. It was boring, but graphically interesting.
