Essentially a mobile version of the Sega Master System, it featured a 3.2-inch display capable of pumping out bright, vivid colors in the palm of your hand. However, this gorgeous screen came with a brutal \"energy tax\": the machine infamously devoured six AA batteries in a mere three to five hours, turning a wall outlet adapter or a heavy rechargeable battery pack into an absolute survival requirement. While it was noticeably heavier than its rivals and suffered from early LCD screen blur, the Game Gear was a solid success, selling over 10.6 million units and proving that gamers were hungry for true color on the go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourced from: \u003c\/strong\u003eRetro Games Plus, Norwalk CT \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEGA","offers":[{"title":"Sega Game Gear","offer_id":53738127819062,"sku":null,"price":1991.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4447\/3654\/files\/PXL_20240221_182100267.jpg?v=1772235433","url":"https:\/\/www.westporttechmuseum.com\/products\/sega-game-gear-1991","provider":"Westport Tech Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
