@Ryan: of course it missed the N-Gage, that’s in part 2! I also can’t help that Nintendo was and has been a dominating force in portable gaming. I try to report it how I see it …

Some somewhat confused info about prehistory… nintendo… nintendo… “all the rest”… nintendo… nintendo… “all the rest again”… just brutal. This stinks of Nintendo Fanboy-ism…

Missed the NGage there too… not to mention a few others. Time to start doing more research…

@shoutanenjeru: I wasn’t trying to be completely, and exhaustively thorough, so I’m sure I have. Like what?

@Phl: Ah, yea, you’re right. Thanks! Fixed

Good article. However, the Mario games for the GB were called Super Mario Land (and later, Wario Land), not Super Mario World.

I’m pretty sure you’re missing a few things here.

Great retrospective. At this stage in my life, I seem to ONLY have time for portable gaming, and this brings back great memories. I still have my old school Gameboyl, Lynx, Game Gear, and Nomad.

By the way, It’s Todd’s Adventure in Slime World (not Tom). I understand, though. It’s been a while =)
