Microvision hand held

Post by Daehawk »

Ive had one since I was a kid. Dont have much with it other than 2 or so game carts/covers. See with it the entire front of the system comes off and you replace it with the game front of another. When off all you see of the system is a black touchpad like thing. The front cover contain the plastic screen cover, art, and the controls. I have been trying to remember the name of this system for weeks now and didn't want to go digging it out to see. Then tonight I saw it on a thrift store run. Weeee.

Anyone else owned one? I haven't seen mine in decades. Its here somewhere. I remember always having fun with it. No one else I knew had one. And Im not even sure how I got mine.

ALWAYS wanted Star Trek for mine.

I have a memory of this game, or something like this game. I'll need to do more research, but I have a vivid memory of playing breakout on a hand held like that back when I was about 10, 11 years old.

Yep. Looking at other images of it, we absolutely had one of these. The thing that threw me was I remembered more buttons on the main screen. I had forgotten that each cartridge replaced the main screen. Now I kind of want to try and find one of them to give to my dad and brother for Christmas this year.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw how much working models of these sell for. I love my dad and brother, but not that much!
