Me and my brothers had game gears growing up, those things chewed through some batteries, but had some darn good sonic games on them
Game gear for me as well. When your a kid, your favorite console is whichever one you were lucky enough to own, be it a gift from a parent, or one you bought with chore money from a friend.
I loved my Game Gear. I always had the AC adapter, so I didn't actually burn through many batteries (never played in the car because the motion gave me a headache). Although I eventually had quite a few games, the ones that I played the most were Sonic 2, Mortal Kombat, and Spider-man/X-Men Arcades Revenge.
Nostalgia alone will probably always keep the Game Gear my favorite handheld, despite how awesome all the Gameboys, DSs, and PSP things that get made. That said, the Neo Geo Pocket holds a high place in my heart as well.
game gear design looks ahead of its time definitely, but yeah i heard that it needed so many batteries! im so glad i bought rechargables for my gameboy
Yeah I had a game gear, and I think of the portables I've had, I got the most use out of it. Part of that use was three younger cousins on my mom's side. Every time we visited I brought it along so I could play it while riding in the RV (ac adapter the whole way)...and when we got there I let them play with it between the 3 of them. I eventually sold it to them with all the game cartridges and the case I had.
