| SUPERVISION |
|
The Supervision handheld game system, also known as the Travell-Mate, was a low-cost alternative to Nintendo's
world-famous Game Boy. Firms from across the world — Watara, QuickShot,
Hartung, Vini Spil, Electrolab, Magnum and others — brought licensed
variants of the Supervision to the market.
Most versions of the Supervision were bundled with a copy of the game
Crystball, to get players started gaming: literally right off the bat!
|
Many fun & exciting games to choose from!!

M O D E L S |
There are three different models of the Supervision:
| The 9205 sports a bendable screen with kickstand. It seems to be the most common model.
The TV-Link's cradle was specifically designed to hold this variant of the machine.
The GB-2000 more closely resembles Nintendo's Game Boy. It does not feature a bendable screen or kickstand.
The 9600, more commonly referred to as Magnum after its brand name, is the slimmest, most compact model.
It lacks the two player link port, and it does not feature a bendable screen nor a kickstand.
It is incompatible with the TV-Link as well. However it is the only model of the
Supervision that can play Journey to the West.
Although certain firms assigned different model numbers to their machines
than those listed here, the actual product designs are the same.
