The NeXTlevel was NeXT Software's first handheld device, eagerly awaited but canned just two weeks from release when Apple purchased NeXT and chose not to pursue gaming. All 250,000 release devices were pulled from channels and unceremoniously rolled into landfill out northwest of Dubbo.

A picture of a black NeXTlevel handheld gaming device, by NeXT. It opens vertically to show two landscape screens, a dpad, and four buttons in NeXT colours. On the bottom screen is the NeXT desktop with the Info window for Chess showing. On the top screen is Chess in its 3D NeXT style glory. Either side of the top screen are the speaker grilles. It sits on a blue fabric background, lit from the side.
