The Pelican VG Pocket is a handheld dedicated console. It is the world's first commercially marketed handheld console to have built-in games and a 2" backlit color LCD screen respectively. There is no cartridge slot.

The VG Pocket has 50 built-in games, many of them clones of old Nintendo Entertainment System games. Some people believe that this product has NES-on-a-chip technology. This gaming device also has a TV-out port with composite video and audio streaming through a non-standard stereo mini headset jack.
