Electronic games

Portable electronic games have revolutionized mobile entertainment since the 1970s. Beyond Nintendo's Game & Watch, other players have marked this history. Mattel Electronics launched Auto Race in 1976, considered the first portable electronic game. The Microvision (1979) innovated with its interchangeable cartridges, while Milton Bradley's Simon (1978) became a timeless classic. These often single-game devices have evolved into more sophisticated consoles like the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, or PlayStation Portable, offering increasingly rich gaming experiences. Today, with 600 models identified, this category reflects the constant evolution of portable gaming, from the first LED screens to modern touch technologies, through innovations in terms of interaction and connectivity that have shaped the video game industry.
