    The Sega Game Gear. That sucker could drain six AA batteries in about three hours. Do you know how hard it was to find a place to buy AA batteries on Christmas day?

    While a rechargeable battery pack fixed that problem, most of the games were garbage compared to the GameBoy. The first party games were the best, but most everything else was ‘meh.’

    I never did get that TV tuner add-on either.

      I think one saving grace for the Game Gear was that you could also play Master System games using an adapter, if I remember correctly?
