I got the game gear recently and I love the thing. The collection of games I get will definitely grow! Make sure if buying one that its recapped or see if you can get it recapped after you buy it! (Like I did) The old capacitors are fish caps as I like to call them (since they where filled with fish oil) and they leak which is 90% of the time why a game gear isn't working like it should,

This is a system that was ahead of its time. Nitendo's success of the late 80's was something all game companies scrabled to get in on. Sega failed with the Mastersystem, but gained ground with the genisis. Nintendo came out with the Gameboy, black and white, but portable, and nintendo expanded their power. Sega fought back with this, The game gear, a color portable system. Far superior to the game boy, which acutally took about another 5 years to even get a color version out, Game gear delivered quality graphic. Unfortunately, it was a little more expensive, and the marketing was less than the jaugernaut of nitendo. Many of the game companies made deals for their best games with nintendo, but this system did ok, and does have a good number of games available for it. I liked this system, and many games are avaiable now used online and at game stores. A good system, even by todays standard. The only system that preceeded this one with color, The atari Lynx...A very overlooked system. Anyway, now resonably price for a fun system..Read full review
Remembering my childhood. sigh. Games only OK but holding this device feels so cool.

I purchased this system for myself, as I used to play the Game Gear when I was in high school. When I received it, the battery did not work at all. Even after being charged over night. The only way that I can play it is by having it plugged in all the time. I wish I knew it had problems, I never would have purchased it.
The product was in a good shape, we need to change the capacitors because the sound is not working.. but overall if you can find a good one you will be lucky! :)
I bought the Sega Game Gear because we had games from years ago and our old game gear's didn't work.
