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.

okay, so though I prefer the the control and set up of the gamegear, I own a GB, so I felt that I had to vote for the own I own and that I know more people who own.

both cool though... GG's just BETTER

I had a game gear. They ruled. If only there was a bit more advertising SEGA could still be in the running today for the next-gen consoles.

Go Sega Nomad

I didn't have any of the 'classic' handhelds... But I couldn't stand the black and white (or yellow or whatever) graphics of the old Gameboy... ugh...

It was Tetris all the way baby...!
I remember receiving my original GB for Christmas back 12 or so years ago. Man I played the hell outta some Tetris back then.
The Game Gear's hardware was far superior to the GB's, but Sega's advertising team sucked.
Plus Nintendo had all the titles...to name a few:
*MarioLand 1&2
*Metroid 2
*all 4 Final Fantasy's
*TMNT
*all the Castlevania's
*Some damn good GB rpg's like 'Sword Of Hope'


I'm sorry but even though Nintendo's GameBoy was far lacking against SEGA's Game Gear in what it had to offer, I'm still an old school GB player.
