A lot of kid's toys today are this kind of 'Sound Effects module' I've even seen modern ones targetted at adults with soundbites from popular shows / movies. To me this doesn't even seem like a dated product.
Not the kind of product I could ever imagine wanting, but still a product with a huge market.
An even more modern incarnation of this type of thing are the more recent 'Basic Fun' devices, which have short movie clips; I do wonder if they're on the same tech as some of the mini-arcades. Pointless, mindless and nothing but trash, but there will always be an audience.
