The Game Pocket Computer was a Handheld made by Epoch. This was a Black and White Portable Atari 2600. I say this because the graphics are the same. It could really do a lot for the 2nd Handheld out. It uses cartridges just like the GameBoy. It only had 5 games made for it, but it did have 2 games loaded on the Internal Memory. It didn’t come with any cartridges, but it did have those 2 games on it to start.
It took 4 AA Batteries to power the Handheld, and come with a 'dummy' cartridge like the Nintendo DS Lite does. Sadly, it did not do very good in Japan. It died do to not having any 3rd Party Games on it. Who knows what this little one could of done if it was a big hit! If you want one, keep an eye open on eBay.
When I wrote this Reviews, it was going for US $899.00 on eBay!!!! (3/28/09)
