The Colorvision is a handheld video game console developed and manufactured by Hong Kong-based company Romtec Enterprises, Ltd., released in Hong Kong and Europe in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
It is the first handheld video game console to have colored sprites on a LCD screen instead of overlays or VFD displays.[5] Previous systems like The Entex Select-A-Game had games that came with overlays to enhance the graphics and play experience, while only the cartridge is needed on the Colorvision.
It was manufactured and released by Romtec, but the console was also distributed under several brands, including Altic, Bazin and Bristol.[6][7][8]
