Sega Game Gear: Get Portable!
*The only subreddit dedicated solely to the Game Gear!* Game Gear was Sega's entry into the handheld market. Nintendo's Game Boy was dominating the market, but Sega entered with a portable, color, and backlit version of it's 8-bit home console, MasterSystem. Having Sonic the Hedgehog blast on to portables is just the thing that many gamers had been waiting for!
