The Game Gear was Sega's first hand held games console - with a built in high colour 3.2" screen and 32 colour support at 160x144 pixels, this was released in 1990-2 and was based on the Master System.

Its similarity with the Master System (although with better colours), made it fairly easy to port games across, and the Master Gear Convertor was released which allowed you to plug original Master System cartridges directly into the Game Gear.

Approximately 390 software titles were released for the Sega Game Gear, and a host of accessories were available, including a TV tuber, a rechargeable battery pack and a link cable to allow you to join two Game Gear consoles together.
