===== History and Trivia =====
The Hartung Game Master was sold in 1990? in Germany. Trying to
compete with the Game Boy (another one like the Supervision and the
Mega Duck), didn't had any succes, very less than the Supervision.
With a black & white monocrome LCD display, it ressembles graphically
to a Atari 2600 with it's blocky pixels. The casing looks alike as
the Sega Game Gear. The cartridges looks very much to the Supervision,
and even has 40-pins like the Supervision but ain't compatible with
each others.
The Hartung Game Master has a black and grey color casing with a
border and name in red (or brown). Like the Game Boy or any other
portable systems, it has an On / Off Switch, a contrast control, a
volume control, a AC adaptor input jack and a headphone jack,
directional-cross pad, "A" and "B" buttons plus a Start and Select
buttons.
