The SEGA Game Gear - More than a "portable Master System"?
The SEGA Game Gear was an 8-bit power house. Far exceeding the graphical capabilities of its 8-bit competition. (Except the PC Engine). In this video we are exploring the unique footprint of the game gear architecture, what makes it different from its older brother The Master System and in which areas it excels.
Was it REALLY just a portable Master System? Let's find out! (And try to be more excited about this prospect than the upcoming Steam Deck) :)
