Gaming without handheld devices is hard to imagine. Nintendo currently dominates this market, but before the Game Boy, Coleco and Nintendo’s Game and Watch series provided one-off handheld gaming experiences that captivated gamers. Now, 40 years later, the landscape has changed with the emergence of devices that can emulate various platforms. However, the history of handheld gaming devices should not be forgotten. Competitors like SNK, Sony, Tiger, NEC, Bandai, and Milton Bradley once fiercely competed in this space.
For those who lived through it, gaming on-the-go with titles like Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, and Final Fantasy was a game-changing experience that created countless memories that endure to this day.
