Did you know Microvision was the world's first handheld game console with interchangeable cartridges?
Released in 1979, it paved the way for future handheld gaming systems. What was or is your favourite handheld game?

@muzej@mastodon.social The Mega Duck! A charming market failure clone of a the Game Boy. Instead of taking the usual clone route of entirely copying the device, they broke compatibility with existing games by modifying hardware registers and using a different cartridge edge connector and slot size. This did not help sales, the device has a very small library of official games and did not sell widely.
