Leapster

The Leapster Learning Game System, formerly known as the Leapster Multimedia Learning System, is an educational handheld game console manufactured and sold by LeapFrog Enterprises, aimed at children ages 4 to 10 (preschool to fifth grade). Its games teach the alphabet, phonics, basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and art and animal facts to players. Along with a directional pad, the system features a touchscreen with a stylus pen that enables young users to interact directly with the screen.

The Leapster was released in October 2003. LeapFrog released the Leapster2 handheld device as a successor to the Leapster in July 2008, adding a USB port and SD card slot. These additions allow the user to play a downloaded game and allows games to log user data, such as topics learned or user-created art. Logged activity is sent to LeapFrog's "Learning Path" system, which tracks educational milestones completed. Completion of certain learning activities allows online games to be accessed. Art created using the Leapster can be further modified online and printed using a computer. The Leapster and Leapster L-MAX were retired in 2014, and the Leapster2 was retired in 2019.
