  Handheld game console - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike video game consoles, however, the controls, screen and speakers are all part of a single unit.
The first handheld game console to use interchangeable game cartridges was the Microvision, designed by Smith Engineering, and distributed and sold by Milton-Bradley in 1979.
The Game Gear's internal architecture was almost identical to the Sega Master System console (the Game Gear had 4096 possible colors versus the Master System's 256), which allowed Sega to quickly release a large number of games that had originally been written for the older system.
