Gameboy vs. Game Gear - sTr - 07-21-2009

Arguably the greatest argument for most awesome hand held video game systems. These two battled it out very hard. Some gamers would say the Game Boy had a clear cut victory, and others would say that Sega gave Nintendo another run for their money. Both had their pros, and both definitely had their downfalls. Let the War-Zone begin!

From the day it came out Gameboy has been a success. People wanted a hand held NES and Nintendo wasn't afraid to give it to them. The hand held system seems a bit bulky now-a-days, when it came out the Gameboy was state of the art mobile gaming. Originally packed with Tetris; Gameboy broke all kinds of sales records, and even holds many of them today.

Game boy. Game gear took too many batteries, and it died too fast. The games were just ports of Genesis games. Fuck that.

Nintendo wins this war.

Game Boy, all the way. I still have the old 5 lb. brick b & w gameboy,

While Game Gear had the full color screen the games sucked.

Game Boy had the better games. to name a few:

Super Mario Land
Tetris
Final Fantasy Adventure
Pokemon (knock it if you want, but you know you secretly played it)
Bart Vs. The Juggernauts
Kirby in Dreamland

and others that I can't recall at the moment
