The NeXTlevel was NeXT Software's first handheld device, eagerly awaited but canned just two weeks from release when Apple purchased NeXT and chose not to pursue gaming. All 250,000 release devices were pulled from channels and unceremoniously rolled into landfill out northwest of Dubbo.

replacing the top screen is such a pain, since it's so easy to pinch/crimp the hinge wiring, but worth it to keep it running!

I believe that's the 1992 10th anniversary edition, with a proper color screen, the 1982 version compensated it's black and white LCD screen by using garish colors on the frame.

Never heard of this. I bet it would have been a hit under the right circumstances. Oh well, I guess Apple made out all right.

The 56001 DSP was the entire left side of the device, and needed 4 AA batteries all by itself. But you can't fight tradition.
