Game Master (partially lost video games on Hartung handheld console; 1990)
The "Impel" model of the Game Master
Status: Partially lost
The Game Master was a handheld game console released in the 1990's by the company Hartung. It was made to compete with Nintendo's Gameboy and Sega's Game Gear, Watara's Supervision, and Bit Corp's Gamate. It was released in Germany by Hartung themselves, and released in the United Kingdom by a company known as Systema under the name "Systema 2000". Several different models were released in France by 2 different manufacturers "Videojet" and "Delplay". Along with different models, the game boxes were also very different in different countries.

Only 19 games are known to exist and only 3 remain unpreserved, due to either rarity or not actually being released to the public. On July 17th 2020, a Twitter user uploaded screenshots of Tank War and Space Invader and were said to be dumped. However, no download link currently exists for these games. [2]
