The Playdia was meant for young children.  Games are very simple and most feature popular anime shows like Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball.  It also has discs which feature Japanese idols taking off their clothes.  Like the Casio Loopy and Apple Pippin, it makes an interesting show piece for a collector, but its practically useless for actually playing games on.

i have it along with almost every title for it.  it's interesting and there are some decent titles but nothing for people who play arcade/sports/rpg/action games.  it's great to have it you are studying japanese as there is a lot of good software for it.  the dragonball z games are the best.

i don't think the playdia went kiddie porn , really.  it just feels that way because it went from kids' software (this thing was really geared towards kids with even phonics games at one point) all the way to games featuring one adult girl in a life adventure of sorts.  they were themed -those later games, that is- involving elements of nature.  the packaging was also similar not unlike the kiss (rock band) solo albums. i haven't played through much of my collection yet - barely any , in fact - but i am virtually certain there was never any porn nor anything like it on the playdia.  still, it is a weird system but at the same time, charming.  it's an interesting bit of technology and despite its weak library, ends up being fun though it would help to speak japanese on this one.
