I would not mind playing a gameboy that will sedate me preferably end me.
That looks like it'd torture you XD
— always wanted one as a kid.
Well, GB was the most popular form of playing on the go, so was a go-go for Nintendo & third party companiesWhy did the game boy series of consoles have so many peripherals?
And extremely odd ones at that?
It's like the sat nav for the sega staurn for use in a Japanese car, all I think is why?

The game gear draining six AA batteries back when batteries weren't the cheapest may have had something to do with that since the old Gameboy could run a long time on batteriesWell, GB was the most popular form of playing on the go, so was a go-go for Nintendo & third party companies
SEGA sold rechargeable batteries for the Game Gear and i think that a plug adapter was sold back on the day tooThe game gear draining six AA batteries back when batteries weren't the cheapest may have had something to do with that since the old Gameboy could run a long time on batteries
I prefer the pocket though over the OG design.
The plug was a lifesaver, that and the TV adapter were quite handy in the 90's, though I didn't play one till the mid 2000's and at that stage Sonic advance 1 existed on the GBA, so how amazing the game gear really was went over my head.SEGA sold rechargeable batteries for the Game Gear and i think that a plug adapter was sold back on the day too
