I'm pretty sure that's why Nintendo went with the black and white screen when they made the Game Boy. Because a color screen would have used more power to give the desired output. If there's only black and white to worry about, then it wouldn't use as much power.

Yeah it was mandatory to get the AC adapter and rechargeable battery-pack. You had to buy both, but if you were at home you could plug into the wall fro unlimited play time, and the battery-pack had like 3-4 hours of run time if you wanted to play on the go. There was also a car adapter, but you had to get it separately. That was great for long car trips though.

I had a game gear and a gameboy and after I got my battery pack, the gameboy never got a look in. I had loads of great games and never had a problem with the catalogue but that might be because Sega was a lot bigger in the UK than the US so maybe we had more games available.

The Game Gear is a pretty nice hand held. The only issue with the system are how many you find that don't work. This wasn't an issue back when it was out, but now a days it seems like they have a 75-80% failure rate. Most of the time it's the capacitors that need replacing.

When you jump, an inevitable blind death is bound to happen because you can't see where you are landing. I have Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos, and those two are like that (not sure about the others). Anyone else know what I mean and feel my pain too?

Game Gear had too many design flaws for my taste. Most notably, terrible battery life, and a screen that blurred with even a little bit of motion due to them opting for color (and the average LCD technology not being quite good enough yet). But it wasn't until years later that we started to see actual defects as well, because bad capacitors they used started to fail, leading to very blurry, faded, and generally terrible screens, deteriorating to the point that the system entirely stops working in some cases. There are entire replacement cap kits on Ebay just to address this issue. And if you ever want to buy a used one, you should probably make sure it comes from someone who mentions that it's had its caps replaced, or you're likely buying a piece of junk. If you find one with something like a TFT LCD replacement, that might be even better.

It was all about going over to each others houses and playing fucking video games all day and night, passing the controller around, bitching about parts that were hard as fuck. Unless it was a multi-player game, then we just bitched at each other. We would stop, but only occasionally, for food and drink. Or to read the newest gaming mags, or watch a movie. Ahhh, those were the days.

I actually HAVE that Crash Dummies game on the Game Boy, it's the EXACT same game minus the colors. The goal of the bomb factory level is to use the hammer on the Crash Dummy body parts and to leave the bombs alone, letting them drop at the end, but if they're lit, you have to blow out the fuse. Using the hammer makes the bombs explode as does leaving the lit bombs drop at the end, letting too many of the bombs explode makes you lose a try. I'm PRETTY sure if memory serves, if you paid attention at the start of the level, the game actually tells you this. That said, all the levels are pretty easy, but tricky to get a perfect score... except the final level with the rocket, fuck that level completely.

I collected all cans and hit the target in stage 2, I hit every flag and the goal in stage 3, I hit every bomb in stage 4, and hit the target dead centre on stage 5. (stage 5 took lots of practice though). It then cycled to a new game on a harder mode. I couldn't ace these, but I still beat them.

LOL! Turning the Game Gear into a console, using a Master System controller. There lies one of the main problems with it: MANY of these games were also on the Master System, and it was better playing them on a T.V. Sonic 2 immediately springs to mind. Not only that, but it ate up battery juice like crazy, and many of it's exclusive games were Japanese-only RPG's! And I thought Pokémon on my old Game Boy went through a lot of batteries! I know that there were alternatives to extend battery life, or even bypass it altogether, but seriously, who wants to play a Game Gear six feet away from a plug socket? I had a Game Gear too, but there is simply no way it's a no-contest, declaring so against the Game Boy. The sales alone tell it's own story. Glad that it still gets some love, as it is somewhat underappreciated, despite it's flaws.
