Does anyone remember a "handheld" donkey kong game?

I swear when I was little there was a miniaturized version of the donkey kong arcade game that was based on graphics that looked like digital clocks at the time (very early 80's) as well as a cool tron game that only consisted of throwing the disc and driving the cycles which also looked like digital clock graphics. my google fu is failing me, am i getting senile or did these games really exist? I've not been able to find a single mention or picture of these things 🙁

holy shit! apparently these were called "mini-arcade" and here is an example!

Yeah, I had that donkey kong mini box. I also had another one that was a football simulation. Came out in the mid-late 80's IIRC.
 
I still have a Donkey Kong II unit laying around here somewhere. It's in pretty good shape too (I think).

I used to have a couple of these... donkey kong. Pacman. maybe one more.
 
I had Donkey Kong and a Popeye game of these. I still have at least one of them in a storage box somewhere...
