The LJN Video Art is an educational home video game console that was developed and manufactured by LJN. It was launched in 1987 with a two-year market presence of mostly negative critical reviews but sharing retail prestige among hit toys. It was discontinued in late 1989[5] at a heavy price drop, as ultimately a commercial failure. It is LJN's only video game console, and only nine games were made for it.
