ATBW 2D

The ATBW 2D is a 12 bit handheld game console released in 1993 as the successor to the ATBW 1D released in 1987, and it was sold until 2003 following the success of the ATBW C4. It is essentially the same as the 1D except that it uses the same color palette sourced from the ATBW A8. Most 1D games will work on the 2D system and vice versa, though one exception is Fender's Color Adventure, which is exclusive to the 2D.

Even though the system is 12 bit mechanically, it is still often referred to as an 8 bit console due to the graphics and audio on it, which is equivalent to that of the 1D and A8 systems, but also allowed higher quality samples to be used as in the case of Pinto's 2D Adventure, which used sampled music instead of the stock square waves that the console used, and also pushed its limitations.
