I laughed so hard...oh how times have changed.

Donkey Kong on Game Gear?  Were you sitting on the Game Gear while playing your Gameboy?

You know I was pretty young but I went with it. I'm not sure what crazy memory I have screwed up in my head but I specifically remember playing a donkey kong country on a handheld and it was not a gameboy. It was in color and everything but I know it doesn't make any sense. I might be confusing a time I was playing a SNES at a friends house. But I remember being outside. Then again this could have been a dream because I think I had a dream about Donkey Kong Country and it was really wierd and it was like on repeat of an impossible part or glitch situation where I would just run off the edge or something. Maybe I should see a doctor.

Was it really that bad? How was that even acceptable. I owned a GBC and don't remember it being a problem, guess I wasn't aware enough.

Vita no doubt. I still have my Game Gear and the thing I remember best is that it needed (6) AA batteries and ate them up so quickly. I ended up getting the battery pack that screws into the back, but it was still a battery hog. Plus the games were terrible.

I had Sonic, 3 Ninjas, X-Men (ugghh!) and can't remember what else.

I read it can last up to 30 hours in some cases.

I totes have a Game Gear I found in the attic. It sucks. I bet it was impressive at the time though.

Sorry I broke the rules, but from videos and reviews, I'll go with the Vita. If it means anything, I might buy the Vita this year.

I'm a SEGA fanboy, but this isn't a fair comparison. The Vita is definitely the better handheld.

Game Gear required 6 batteries to run and lasted 4-5 hours. It was just plain awful
