Game developers came up with a way to make video games portable in the 1970s, when Mattel came out with Auto Race. The game had very limited graphics projected on an LCD display, and an under powered microprocessor limited the games abilities. Racing cars represented by dashes moved jerkily across the screen. Despite such limitations handheld games grew in popularity, which meant that people could spend even more time playing games than they did before. Various sports games were released, as well as stripped-down versions of arcade games like Donkey Kong and Space Invaders. The Popular Game Boy was released in 1989, the same time as the Atari Lynx, but the Lynx was more expensive, so most customers purchased a Game Boy. Players liked the Game Boy and the Lynx because they were easy to use and game cartridge were inexpensive to buy.
The nex big advance was color handhelds, such as Game Boy Color and Word Swan Color, which were released in the late 1990s. The technology was combined with MP3 players and personal digital assistants (PDAs) in the N-Gage and Tapwave Zodiac, and in 2004, the Nintendo DS added touch-screen capabilities. The DS and PlayStation Portable also included Wi-Fi internet connectivity so players could easily download new games.
