Nope, I'm almost positive it was just called Game Boy Purple...it didn't last long...I'm trying to look it up now. Edit: I'm apparently high and have no idea what I'm talking about because I can't find anything about it anywhere....

In the meantime, I located a picture of the my retro handheld that came with 2 wired controllers that fit inside it...this was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time:

I have an old B&W Gameboy and a green Gameboy color. I still have a bunch of old Gameboy games. If I break out, I usually play Mortal Kombat, Star Wars, and TETRIS!

I still have the Double Dragon hand held game. It's at my cousins house. I need to get it and take pics!

Found a few more that I had, I really liked these LCD games. Always got one or two for birthdays and Christmas. Wish I knew what happened to all of them. So far the Donkey Kong DS is all I've found. Nintendo had the best, but Radio Shack also had quite a few good ones

You got me thinking, Rob. I knew I had another handheld football game in addition to the Mattel in the OP. I found it.



I also remember playing this one with a friend (his game, not mine).



I'm heading back to my Mom's for her 80th B-Day party next weekend, and I think I'll search the place for these games. She doesn't get rid of anything!

For me, it was this



Astrowars released by Grandstand in NZ in the early 80s.

It was a knockoff of Galaga, maybe thats why Galaga is one of my all time favorite Arcade games after Bubble Bobble , and probably because I consider myself relatively good at both.


Re: the Game & Watch, I remember a Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck handheld, where they were firefighters putting out a fire, I didnt own it personally, but a friend in school let me play it often, I wouldnt mind picking one up but not for $60 bux, I like nostalgia, but not that much

I really don't care what anyone says Nintendo is the king of hand helds. the Game Boy from 1987 is the god father of the hand helds. I have a green one it works but I never play it though haha. my favorite game on it was Tetris and Mario Land.

Picked up a new handheld today.

The Game Gear was definitely the king of the hand helds.
