This really is a good price for the work put into making a Game Gear work like this. I'm sure I spent more on just the batteries back in the day.

I never had the GB as a kid, but picked up a Gamegear as soon as I graduated Basic. Took that on every deployment until I was able to get a GBA.

Actually the new TFT/IPS decreases power consumption. This is because you remove the CFL tube to backlight the old screen. That was the reason the console was a power hog.
@wolffactor563 жыл бұрын
Never grew up on the game gear, always wanted one. From what I could tell it was a good system. If I could get a retro portable, I would lean towards a Sega Nomad. Also awesome modded game gear, it’s a good looking system.

Classic Game Boy and classic Game Boy Color games are best played on a backlit GBA SP. And as for the Sega Game Gear, the Game Gear is best played with the Sega Gear Master add-on for the Game Gear, which allows you to play your Sega Master System games on your Game Gear. If you own a Game Gear, then you don't need a Master System.
