📱About Game Gear
Sega's answer to the Game Boy had a backlit colour screen in 1990, years ahead of Nintendo — at the cost of six AA batteries per six hours. Internally it is Master System hardware, so much of its library is shared.
R36S Compatibility (Perfect): Full-speed on all R36 models. The R36 screen is far larger than the original, so Game Gear titles look better here than they ever did on the hardware.
