The SEGA Game Gear launched in New York and Los Angeles 30 years ago today!

Last year saw SEGA trot out a Game Gear Micro with titles like: Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo 2, OutRun, and Royal Stone. A blue version had Sonic & Tails, Gunstar Heroes, Sylvan Tale, and Baku Baku Animal. While the red flavor included Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible, Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special, The GG Shinobi, and Columns. Funny enough, a yellow option also contained Shining Force Gaiden, Shining Force Gaiden 2, Shining Force Gaiden Final Conflict, and Nazo Puyo Arle no Roux.
Do you have any sweet memories with the Game Gear? Let us know down in the comments!
Great Picks

These stories are amazing
All of them. If you tried to use some of those dollar store Panasonic batteries they’d be dead by the end of lunch period. I didn’t even own one, just saw literally any game drain the system in the cafeteria. https://t.co/nLP2K58Y0l

This is so many people’s experience lol
Sonic, Sonic and more Sonic. I credit the #GameGear with my discovery of rechargeable batteries! https://t.co/rcN9FsMjPs

AC adapter is the cheat code
It actually wasn’t even worth playing with batteries. My Game Gear stayed plugged into an AC adaptor whenever I was using it. Made it kind of pointless as a handheld. https://t.co/C7WuAev0FB
