 Great color portable game system, unfortunate victum of Nintendo's game boy November 8, 2006

This is a system that was ahead of its time. Nitendo's success of the late 80's was something all game companies scrabled to get in on. Sega failed with the Mastersystem, but gained ground with the genisis. Nintendo came out with the Gameboy, black and white, but portable, and nintendo expanded their power. Sega fought back with this, The game gear, a color portable system. Far superior to the game boy, which acutally took about another 5 years to even get a color version out, Game gear delivered quality graphic. Unfortunately, it was a little more expensive, and the marketing was less than the jaugernaut of nitendo. Many of the game companies made deals for their best games with nintendo, but this system did ok, and does have a good number of games available for it. I liked this system, and many games are avaiable now used online and at game stores. A good system, even by todays standard. The only system that preceeded this one with color, The atari Lynx...A very overlooked system. Anyway, now resonably price for a fun system..

All of these other reviews are comparing game gear to gameboy, which isnt how a review should be. The game gear is essentially a portable master system. Although the size of the game gear is not very portable, it doesnt require a tv or other equipment. The battery life is bad, So what plug it into the wall. The games are great, sonic sonic 2, sonic triple trouble, sonic chaos, mortal kombat, mortal kombat 2, pac man, ms. pac man, streets of rage etc. plus youre playing on a full screen with tons of color, you can even play in the dark. While playing your hands are comfortable because of the width of the system. Don't forget the amazing sounds! buy this system, at these prices you should be asking yourself why you don't already have one.

The Sega Game Gear is an awesome hand held with a lot of games. A backlit color screen (something gameboy didn't have at the time) And some pretty neat accessories. However there are only 2 that I have, and hence I am going to recommend.
The 1st one is the Gear Master, It allows you to play ALL Sega Master System games,Witch Expands the GG's library to a respectable amount!
The 2nd one is the T.V. tuner, It's possibly the coolest thing made for the GG, Unfortunately, The T.V. Tuner will be for sentimental value only as T.V. is going digital only soon :'(
There are a few things stopping it from getting a overall 5 Star and here they are:
1.The thing takes 6 (yes 6) AA batteries, this can make for a hefty system, the worst part is that it eats them in 4-6 hours!
2.Weak capacitors, this is noticed by little, or weak sound form the speaker, they are easy to replace but still..
3. 2 Different models, one works with the t.v. tuner, one doesn't
Even tho, those are my reasons why the GG isn't a 5 star, it still get a 5 star for F U N. If you don't have one you should definitely pick one up!
