Which reigns supreme?

the under advertised, full color screen with backlight, almighty game gear




or the ruling tyrant of the era known as Game boy and Game boy color (which still doesn't have color IMO)

Game Gear...Without Question. I loved that thing...just as long as you had a rechargeable battery pack for it, it was a great handheld with some great games. If you didnt have a battery pack, I pity you.

I would have to say Game Boy/Game Boy Color. Pokemon was the initial reason why I ever decided to own a handheld. Plus there were a few other geat games on GB/GBC. So I'll have to go with it. Although, keep in mind, I never played Game Gear much.

GBC has the biggest Killer App... but Game Gear had the better overall selection imo.

Let the analogy-analysis begin.

Game Gear... Game Boy. The true difference between the two lies in the words "Gear" and "Boy". Game is simply a shared attribute... the fact that the two play "games".

Boy - A young male. In games, he can be seen as a potential hero... or an annoying spectator over your shoulder.

Gear - Either the heart of a mechanism... or in gaming terms, a large Mech used for military or otherwise destructive means (i.e. Metal Gear or Xenogear).

Conclusion: Gears trounce little boys.
