TheGame Master is ahandheld game console manufactured by Hartung,[1][2] and designed to compete with theNintendoGame Boy. InGermany, it was marketed by Hartung itself, while in theUK it was released as theSystema 2000 by the already well-established maker of cheapLCD games Systema.[1]
It was also sold under alternate names inFrance, including theGame Master byVideojet andGame Plus by Delplay, as well as for a few released by Hartung as theSuper Game and theGame Tronic.[1][3] It was sold in Italy by Virella Electronics.[1]
The design was much like theGame Gear with a D-Pad and two action buttons,[4] although another variation, theGame Plus, features a more Game Boy-like design which is backed by a company called Caterpillar and was sold by Delplay inFrance.[3] The cartridges resemble those used by theWatara Supervision, with the card edge of the cartridge jutted out past the plastic of the cartridge. The Game Master utilizes a 40-pin cartridge port like the Watara Supervision but is not compatible with Supervision games.[3]
The Game Master has a 61 x 64 monochromeLCD screen[5].
Eighteen games were released for this console:[1][6][7]
