This week marks the eighteenth anniversary of the Game Gear, SEGA's 8-bit portable. First released in Japan on October 6 in 1990, the Game Gear was essentially a to-go version of the Master System, a console that struggled against the NES. Designed to out-perform the Game Boy on every front, the Game Gear was indeed a more powerful machine than Nintendo's handheld.
The Game Gear, for example, featured a full-color screen versus a monochromatic display, a difference that was exploited in most of SEGA's advertisements including one featuring a young Ethan Suplee, better known now as Randy Hickey from My Name Is Earl.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Game Gear > Game Boy

jesus, dont ever talk about the Game Gear. Do you know how many times I had to replace those 6 Batteries everyday? they lasted for only 2 hours on that dumb portable. It did had lots of potential Though.
i loved my game gear, sega needs a game gear 2 not their other little project.
The Game Gear was a fine machine indeed. I remember long car rides at night time with the lit up screen. There was no need to pull out a flashlight at all.
