Milton Bradley Microvision

This was a great little portable system that kinda flew under the radar for me, but truly impressed as an evolutionary step from the gamelocked handhelds into the realm of consoles.

 

First saw it in a catalog (Christmas, natch) and the mind reeled at the possibilities.

Of course, this was limited to the scope of gaming by the paddle control design, but who cared? it was a new portable gaming console.

 

Would be curious to see how far it could've gone, in terms of game titles.

 

As it stands now, it's a wonderful addition to any retro gamer's collection.

Sorry, man.  I think it's a pretty common failure for the Microvision.  You probably have some great games to go with it too I'll bet.  PM me if interested, I can give you a good deal.

That thing is super awesome, and I'd love to have one someday, but 75 is sadly out of my budget. Good luck to whoever does get it, though. That's a real piece of history right there.
