I read number 5 wrong. I thought it said, "What company manufacuture the system?"

I think the answer would have been Mattel. And I think Tonka manufacutured the SMS.

Right. Toy truck company, Tonka had been approached by Sega to market and distribute the sms, and early on the genesis. On a side note, when Nintendo first started approaching retailers about selling the nes, they promised to buy back any unsold consoles. And they also created that stupid R.O.B. toy, too. Remember that thing, I just found one on e-bay. I think the only game it used was Gyromite.
