"

Laptop sized portable SNES that got as far as a showing at the 1993 E3 before Nintendo pulled the plug. There are at least a few working models in existence. Use the cartridge as a reference; this thing is huge.

You can see it working in the detail with some Dragon Ball Z game. Screen looks pretty small, but this is 1993 we're talking about here. Pretty impressive for the time.

Would have been totally cool but I guess it didn't fit in with Nintendo's Gameboy marketing strategy. Too bad. "

In '82, Compaq made the first "Portable computer", which went for 3,500 USD (almost 9,000 2013 USD) that looked very similar to that.

Another possible price point: The first IBM ThinkPad was released in 1993 for 4,350 USD (7,000 2013 USD).

Were the controllers to be plugged in through the memory card? Interesting design choice; I guess it was abandoned when it was realized that consumers were forced to by memory cards anyway.
