A Handheld History: A comprehensive celebration of handheld consoles and their iconic games from indie journal publisher Lost In Cult

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.

I am a big fan of retro consoles and games. I bought this for some coffee table reading. It looks great and has so much information about games and consoles. Such a great book and feels like a great quality product. If you have a gamer in your life that enjoys the classics, this would be such a great gift.

Great reference book. Full of anectdotes.

Good quality. No complaints

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!

Very informative book which is also packed with personal insights and memories and great imagery. Clearly created with a lot of love! Really my only complaint is that only a few pages are devoted to the Atari Lynx, which is a system near and dear to me. This was a bit disappointing and I think it deserved a bit more attention than to be lumped in with a lot of more obscure handhelds. Still though, a very well done book.

The book a Handheld History, shows everything from the Nintendo Gameboy generation to the Nintendo Switch generation and LE editions of handheld consoles pictured are in this book. It even talks about handheld gaming PC’s in here such as the Valve Steam Deck. Written also is the background story of how the consoles came to be. Well worth Amazons Price of the book.

Got this as a gift for my boyfriend. The book itself is beautifully made, with high quality printing and binding. The material itself is interesting too - I gave it a read before gifting it and had a great time.
