RetroComputingMXEl 24 de noviembre de 1979, Milton-Bradley (compañía de juguetes) presenta al mercado la Microvision, la primera consola de videojuegos de mano. Tuvo un moderado éxito, generó casi 10 millones usd su primer año. Hubo solo 11 juegos para este dispositivo, ya que dos años después de lanzada fue descontinuada <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputingmx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputingmx</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microvision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microvision</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a>

Selena the Retro-PrincessI kept a Microvision for myself, but it looked out of place on the shelf with my handhelds, so I decided it went better here with my Virtual Boy and it's Milton Bradley cousin, the Vectrex!<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/retrocollecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocollecting</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/virtualboy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#virtualboy</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/vectrex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vectrex</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/microvision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microvision</a>

Der TMS1100 ist 1982 schon deutlich kleiner geworden.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MicroVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MicroVision</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a>

derSammlerDie Nr. 8 ist nun auch hier eingetrudelt. Damit ist die <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MicroVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MicroVision</a>-Sammlung erstmal komplett. 🙂 Frage mich gerade, was da mit den Buttons los ist? Auf der Box sind die andersrum als auf dem Modul und wenn ich mir andere Bilder anschaue, scheint es sowohl bei der Box, als auch beim Modul beide Varianten zu geben. Hat man wohl gemacht, wie man gerade Lust hatte? 😂 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a>

derSammlerTja, das kam erst heute an und damit "etwas" zu spät als Beispiel für ein Spiel, das in Europa einen komplett anderen Namen bekam. Nun ja...Mal sehen, wann Super Blockbuster hier eintrudelt. 😅 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MicroVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MicroVision</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a>

derSammlerTook a gamble on this "untested" MB <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Microvision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microvision</a> with the picture of the back showing signs of battery leakage. Turns out the unit (display, sound, keys/knob) is fully working, so is the included BlockBuster game. 🙂 Two of the four battery terminals were corroded. Since only two are needed anyway, I removed the bad ones and swapped the good ones around. Also had to re-attach one wire of the speaker and gave the system a light cleaning.So for only 15€, I now own the European variant of the MB Microvision as well. (have a mint US variant CiB already)<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a>

derSammlerHere's the complete system. It has a new screen and has been re-capped, too.Seeing the condition of other systems around, this might be one of the best-preserved original US units. It's freaking 44 years old! 🤩<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MicroVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MicroVision</a>

derSammlerToday, I finished restoring the box of my MB <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Microvision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microvision</a> (US version, 1979). When I got this many years ago, the box was very worn. The last step was to apply a color-protection coating, which also gives the box a nice silky gloss. 🙂 The sticker covers a damage caused by an old price tag. It's not very adhesive and can be removed later easily - should I ever come up with a way to fix the damage underneath.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BigBoxRestore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigBoxRestore</a>
