RE: Game Gear (portable gaming thinger): Superior console that failed
all great points. The Turbo Express was awesome. It was essentially the same thing as the Turbo Grafx16. I just generally loved that system and the little credit card games were appealing to me as well.
I remember the Atari Lynx. I think that between me and my super nerd neighbor that it was the only portable system that neither one of us ever bought - we didn't get the Jaguar either. I really wanted to like those 2 systems and I wish they had done better, because I hated to see Atari leave the gaming realm for purely patriotic reasons.
I had a Turbo Express for a while (long after it was gone from the market though). I got rid of it too because of the low quality screen. By the standards of the day it was an incredible screen but I just find the screens of all those old portable systems hard to look at now. I would rather play the games via emulation on a screen that is larger, has no motion blur and better contrast. I still have a Lynx but I haven't played it in ages.
I had an Atari Jaguar but got rid of that too. I kind of wish I had kept that one though. There weren't many good games for that system but there were a few.
Speaking of Atari, this looks interesting: https://atarivcs.com/
