Pros: Color; backlit screen; inexpensive; some great titles.
Cons: Eats batteries like crazy; no support to speak of these days; bulky.
Summary: I absolutely love the Sega Game Gear. Indeed, I rank this little portable right up there with my beloved Atari Lynx, and that's saying something as I've been an Atari fan since the late 1970s (well, I don't care for the Jaguar or the 5200, but that's ... read more

Pros: back lighting, Sega's ports
Cons: ate up batteries far too fast, underappreciated

Pros: Some quality games, color backlit screen
Cons: Eats batteries like candy, bulky, limited buttons
Summary: Way back when Sega felt like they had to one-up every move that Nintendo made, Sega felt like they needed to counter Nintendo's Game Boy, which, in 1990, was selling faster than firewood at the North Pole. So they came out with the Game Gear, a handheld ... read more
