Board game versions of game shows would be a separate thread and definitely much longer than this one would get.

Doing a search for handheld brings up a thread on the Wheel of Fortune board.

Mattel's TV Play-Along Wheel of Fortune Handheld game from 1988 (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=301393)

Did any of you have the Plug-N Play version of Wheel Of Fortune that you connected to your TV? I used to play that version every morning and really liked it a lot. And even Mom and Dad would play it themselves too

Family Feud also has had many different handheld games made by Tiger Electronics and there was even a talking version of Family Feud with Louie Anderson's actual voice reading authentic surveys and it also came with a survey book. Later on Irwin Toys made their version of Family Feud that was based on the John O'Hurley version and was also made in a tabletop version too. Wheel Of Fortune also had an Irwin Toys version that was a tabletop version that had a spinning wheel and you picked the letters with the built-in stylus. Let's Make A Deal also had a tabletop game that featured Monty Hall's voice and if you can find it today in the box it is a collector's item

Thank you, but I decided to get rid of the glasses and become about 45 years younger.
