History Of Portable Gaming Discussed

Thanks to Boomtown for the first part of their ongoing series, discussing the early history of handheld videogames. They start off with the Milton Bradley Microvision, which "actually arrived ten years prior to the release of the Game Boy", in 1979, and then discuss "Nintendo's famous line of simple portable LCD video games", the Game & Watch series, before covering the classic original Nintendo Game Boy, and "the world's first color handheld", the attractive but ultimately doomed Atari Lynx.

Microvision article looks fishy

[LookSharp]

The link to the Microvision states:

"Microvision was introduced by Milton Bradley in 1982. ... Milton Bradley rolled out just two new cartridges in 1980, and a final two in 1981."

So, was it released in 1979, or 1982? And:

"...an initial release of seven cartridges... two new cartridges in 1980, and a final two in 1981 ... With a small library of 10 titles..."

So seven plus two plus two equals ten? (Must be midwestern college math, where the "Big Ten" actually has 11 teams :)

Just seems like a strange set of mistakes for one article.
