TRS-80 portable! You'd have to integrate a cassette tape drive somehow...maybe use one of those pocket voice recorders with the mini-tapes.
Hmm...I have a TRS-80 micro color computer sitting in my closet unused, I could make a portable out of it...

Fight MS Paint abominations! If you don't have a camera, go here, and pick something 3 megapixels or higher.

LOL. 1) not a console 2)Tandy beat you to the punch many times over. (Model 100 series, PC [Portable Computer] series, etc.)jdmlight wrote:TRS-80 portable! You'd have to integrate a cassette tape drive somehow...maybe use one of those pocket voice recorders with the mini-tapes.

Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
Both true. Also debatable is the usefulness of a computer that can only run BASIC. But no one's made a portable out of a TRS-80 color computer!tom61 wrote:LOL. 1) not a console 2)Tandy beat you to the punch many times over.

I'd personally vote for the Pong portable. There was one of those at MGC, and it was quite fun.

Colecovision
Intelivision
Sega Master System
Neo-Geo CD
CD-I (but, there are official portables of that)

That's all of the consoles I know of that I know haven't had portables made yet.

Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
I think you're thinking of the Atari 2600, seeing as there's no Flashback of the Atari 5200. I don't think there is one of a 3DO, although there was a lot of discussion on this forum.samjc3 wrote:fix'd.Dant21 wrote:Ok let's go down the list

Ben's done a Colceovision
Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
No, not in the least. The FB1 had a couple of 7800 games on it, but that wasn't any form of AOAC, and may have even been a NOAC with ported games.samjc3 wrote: i thought the FB2 had 5200 support?

Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
I'm pretty sure I saw an earlier one (before the NES 2 was considered a 'rare collectible' as much as they are now) that used one. Unfortunately that site is long gone, it was on a site with a guide for making a portable NES using a toaster's motherboard, and this was one of the user submissions.Triton wrote:what about the nes2? has anyone done that?
