Review: Terrific for handheld fixated gamers of all ages - A fun and interesting retrospective of the history of handheld consoles. Offers a lot of good contextual info, personal insights, photo showcases, and original illustrations.
Review: Best Book on Gaming Handhelds and the Generational Impact - This book has more than I expected! Not only does it contain a vast list of video game handheld hardware but also in depths details on the media that was used, including call outs to some of the important games related. The Fantastic pictures throughout help immensely with this level of detail. Each section is started out with an excellent, very personal recollection of the importance of the device at very important parts of life. This was the part I didn't expect but enjoyed the most. If you've ever picked up a handheld game from those simple TIGER ones to a Steam Deck you will enjoy this book!
