Sega's Game Gear released on this day in Japan back in 1990, alongside Pengo, Columns and Super Monaco GP... I've got a limited edition white one with a copy of Shinobi, which I've never finished because I keep getting mauled in the "Neo City" level. I'm giving it a go now in honour...

It was a shitty handheld, but still Sega.

I loved my Game Gear. I loved everything Sega back in the day. Also, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAthBpU6-ro

Ahh yeah I remember the daya of looking for 6 AA bayteries to power this thing.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Shinobi to be pretty brutal.

Haha, my batteries have run out!
