Game Gear Review

Brief Description;

The Game Gear was Sega's first ultra-portable (hand-held) game console. It was released at a time when a large wave of hand-held consoles were being launched to market worldwide by several companies, including Nintendo's well-known Game Boy. It was released in 1990.

The Positive Points:

-It had the most colour. This may sound funny, but for it's time this was a big deal, especially since many of the competitors both previously and at the time still lacked any or sufficient colour.

-It was the most powerful, and had the best graphics of any other hand-held console at it's time.

-It's screen was the biggest of any ultra-portable console released during, and before it's time.

-It had lot's of great games including Championship Hockey, Alien 3, Bubble Bobble, Sonic The Hedgehog 1-2, Sonic Drift, Super Monaco GP, Sonic Chaos, etc.

The Negative Points:

-It used 6 AA batteries, and it's battery still only lasted about 4 hrs or less!

Innovative: No

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: It's hard to say, I don't see or hear a lot of comments about it

Success: Unsuccessful

My Personal Final Rating: Epic (5/6)
