The Game Master is a handheld game console manufactured by Hartung,[1][2] and designed to compete with the Nintendo Game Boy. In Germany , it was marketed by Hartung itself, while in the United Kingdom it was released as the Systema 2000 by the already well-established maker of cheap LCD games Systema.[1]

It was also sold under alternate names in France , including the Game Master by Videojet and Game Plus by Delplay, as well as for a few released by Hartung as the Super Game and the Game Tronic.[1][3] It was sold in Italy by Virella Electronics.[1]

The design was much like the Game Gear with a D-Pad and two action buttons,[4] although another variation, the Game Plus, features a more Game Boy-like design which is backed by a company called Caterpillar and was sold by Delplay in France .[3] The cartridges resemble those used by the Watara Supervision, with the card edge of the cartridge jutted out past the plastic of the cartridge. The Game Master utilizes a 40-pin cartridge port like the Watara Supervision but is not compatible with Supervision games.[3]
