Trip down memory lane: evolution of the handheld

With 2006 just gone by and 2007 still fresh and new, here’s a little something that should invoke nostalgia, or at least make some of you out there smile.

Anyway, some kind person has decided to compile a gallery which pretty much shows the roots of the video game handheld devices we’ve grown to love. It’s quite a list and it even includes a few devices we’ve never even heard of. The gallery includes the first portable gaming device, the Milton Bradley Microvision from 1978, to the Game Boy, Watara Supervision (for which we now have an emulator. Wee!!), the Sony PocketStation, the PSP, and DS Lite.

Ah. Good times.

Here are some of those handhelds all of us probably know and miss.
