Milton Bradley Microvision (microvsn)
for Batocera and Retrobat
The Microvision (aka Milton Bradley Microvision or MB Microvision) was the first handheld game console that used interchangeable cartridges and in that sense is reprogrammable.
Unlike most later consoles, the Microvision did not contain an onboard processor (CPU). Instead, each game included its own processor contained within the removable cartridge. This meant that the console itself effectively consisted of the controls, LCD panel and LCD controller.
The Microvision was designed by Jay Smith, the engineer who would later design the Vectrex gaming console. Its combination of portability and a cartridge-based system led to moderate success. However, very few cartridges, a small screen, and a lack of support from established home video game companies led to its demise in 1981.
The package includes:
13 games (~24 MB)
