A look at the hand-held consoles I have in my collection Hand Held gaming started, for me at least, with the original Game Boy, I had one and I loved it, I was a master at Tetris. Getting 300+ lines was easy for me.I could easily beat Game B, Level 9, High 5. I even beat it in front of loads of people at school after someone said it was impossible, the pressure was high. And I can still do it today Who else wanted to play Tetris while on the bus going to the boring game-free zone known as work? Now you can, and things only got better from there.
Now it's time to go mobile, I had the original Gameboy, but after a series of accidental drops I swapped it for some car stereo speakers. I was a master at Tetris, beating game B on Level 9, High 5 every time I played and regularly passing 150 lines in Game A, I received the Gameboy Color as a present some years later.I have the official camera and printer to go with this
I saw the NeoGeo Pocket Color in an independent games exchange shop, so I bought it, An arcade perfect port of Pacman and King of Fighters kept me entertained for some time.
Recent donations to the museum include Sega's answer to the Nintendo Game Boy. Boasting a backlit colour screen, but ridiculously short battery life. Technically similar to the Master System and also had an odd add-on, A TV tuner. This one, like most Game Gear's, will probably need recapping.
My version of panic buying included old Nintendo Game Boy Advances, this one is in excellent condition and is fully working
I missed my original Game Boy, so I had to buy anotherAs noted above, I have the official camera and printer to go with this
This was my first taste of electronic gaming, it's more advanced than a Pong machine, so it does belong in here
This was recently donated to me, it's the original model, it came with a carry case and charger, but no games
I picked this up in a games exchange shop in Wells, it's bright red
£10 from a local car boot sale, and it works
Came with a Binatone TV Master Mk4
Bought "twice" from Vinted, eventually arrived damaged

I hope you all find this as interesting and as nostalgic as I do.
Special thanks to my long-suffering partner Denise for putting up with all this "nonsense".
