Sega Game Gear [1992] 

One of the first colour portable consoles to be made. The Game Gear was basically a miniaturised Master System with the addition of a larger colour palette, therefore Master System games could be played on it. There was also an additional accessory which was a TV Tuner.

The Game Gear had a bright back light so it can easily be played in the dark. It is possible to show 32 colours on the screen at once, and had many games to help popularity. It was inferior to the Nintendo Game Boy but it was firmly fixed in the console market.

A big difference was the shape of the console itself. The buttons were positioned either side of the screen rather than underneath, as in the Game Boy. It could be said to be an advantage but the Game Boy in my opinion looks smarter and less bulky.
