The Microvision, made by Milton Bradley in 1979, was the grandfather to the Gameboy. It was the very first handheld game system that had interchangable cartridges, with the cartridges being half the size of the system, and you locked it into the base. It used a strange button system, where, instead of individual buttons to press, it had an overlay over the pad, which looks like a yellow sticky note pad, that you would press down on, and it would translate that to the game to move something, or to perform and action in the game. The games resembled games you would have on a graphing calculator, with it having a very basic black and white display. I happen to have the system, as well as two games for it. If I can find it, (It's buried under boxes of stuff and junk) I could do a review of it, or just show off the very first handheld with interchangable cartridges. I'll also post some pics when I (hopefully) can find it.

That would be an awesome review, I am quite intrigued by this, and would love to see a video of it in action

Ok. I'll see if I can't find it. I think I have an idea of where it's at in the garage.
