"This felt like a SNES in your hand with a tiny screen. Loved this machine. I remember playing sonic, micro machines and aladdin on this. All the accessories with this machine were a blast too."
"My best friend growing up had one. We spent a lot of time trading and having sleep overs. A great contribution to a great childhood friendship. I always loved Segas game selection and love that they've found their niche in software. But the game gear was awesome."
"I played so much Sonic, Power Rangers, and VR Troopers. The biggest downfall, even raiding the TV remote couldn't power this bad boy. It needed something like 6 AA batteries to play. But it was backlit, had good games, and was portable."
"I didn’t own one but my friend had one and I was way bigger than him. We (I) mostly played sonic but the novelty of the colour screen and the fact it had a backlight made this one helluva handheld. "
"I didn't have a Gameboy, I had this little guy and man oh man did I feel superior. All kidding aside, the games were great, the screen and colors were great, especially compared to Gameboy with its monochrome screen. I got ahold of one recently in my ongoing mission to replace my lost youth. It's not as crystal clear as my memory but it was good little system, though the batteries a Game Gear could leave in its wake without the rechargeable battery packs or hard line (the latter of which I have picked up). "
"My main memories are it was a battery hog, and it had a fun sonic game on it. My brother had one, and I think he accidentally broke it after a few months. The graphics were pretty incredible at the time. I didn’t get to experience any game outside sonic but it seemed the battery consumption made it harder to get into. "
"Game Gear was hands down the best portable system until the Switch came out. Yeah, fight me! I used to rock the big case that held all my games, screen magnifier, Master System cartridge adapter and TV tuner. I had it all for this system because I loved it so much. Sonic, Space Harrier, all of it was awesome. I remember the color screen being so vivid and bright that all the Gameboy fans were crying. "
