   I've got one of these with a bunch of carts in a box somewhere.

     🤏👁️ The Milton Bradley Microvision is the first handheld game console with cartridge-based games from 1979. It has some interesting technological features:

     🧠 The console contains only a screen and buttons; the processor is part of the game cartridges.
     🔬 The screen has a resolution of 16x16 pixels, which is as small as the tiniest icons on modern computers.
     😭 Unfortunately, the screen is not as durable as more modern LCDs, so most Microvision consoles today are non-functional.
