I found one on Ebay for only $62 so It was probably the 6 AA batteries every 4 to 5 hours part that killed the deal tbh.

$62 is pretty cheap for a video game system that old. Amazon runs for over $200 for a used one.

From what I remember gamegear kinda sucked. Why do you want one?

You have way better handheld console options.

If I had access to one from a legal physical vendor that's not charging an arm and a leg I'd do that.

Just know that if it hasn't been repaired at all, it most likely has bad capacitors, as it's a very common game gear issue

Might sound stupid but I'm boycotting the Sonic Origins + (which has the games on it) because they butchered the Sonic 3 soundtrack. So the only way to play these games portable is an actual Game Gear.

Though I'm thinking I may have to cave and just buy SO+ anyway.

I'd say $62 is an arm and a leg for a Game Gear in 2023.

I would pay like $10 for a Game Gear at a yard sale

Like I said, $62 is cheap for one on these. But I don't own a credit card so I can't use Ebay. By physical vendor I meant physical, solid cash.

Have you ever actually played a Game Gear? Because you're in for a bad time if you try to play them with that screen.

This is actually kinda late by Duncan's standards.

He's made topics before in springtime about pestering his parents about what he wants for xmas.

Paying more than $200 to play a lot of shitty games instead of paying $40 to play the same shitty games is not a good idea :V

You know you can buy rechargeable AA batteries? There's a little dock that plugs into the wall. Get one that holds 8, buy a 4 pack of extra batteries, then leave 6 on the charger and 6 in your system. Swap as they die. Unplug the whole thing when they're charged and you're done playing
