Dynamikk (game console)

The Svensson Dynamikk is a handheld game console released by Shlaukian electronics manufacturer, Svensson Electric in Europe and North America in 1997. The Dynamikk is Svensson Electric's entry in the fifth generation of video game consoles and the successor to their previous console, the SVS3D. Unlike most other game consoles, the Dynamikk didn't compete with Sony, Nintendo, TechEruo, or Sega.

The Dynamikk is the first portable game console to use optical discs as its primary storage medium. The discs are in a MinIDisc-based format known as MD-ROM s, manufactured by Svensson-Sony, a joint venture between Svensson Electric and Sony, the system can also play MDV s (MiniDisc Video), which are also manufactured by Svensson-Sony. The console supports online gaming for some games via wireless internet, making it one of the first manufactured electronics to support such a feature.

Reception of the Dunamikk was mixed-to-positive. The console was praised for its controller, extensive software library, and its use for optical discs. Svensson sold 25.95 million Dynamikk units worldwide before its discontinuation in 2006. Its successor, the Dynamikk Mark II, was released in November 2005.
