Seriously 12 years ago, nobody was playing Sega Game Gear. Let alone 2 and without power adapters? We weren't even playing them 20 years ago.

My goodness this was not as good as any of the hype. Predictable. Guess because I was born in the 70's I've seen too much. Lame. Horror needs a break.

You're right, clearly the gamegear's fault

I don't care if you were born in the 50s. It was a great movie. It was clever how the girl plotted for like 10yrs to beat the mirror. Almost succeeded, but the mirror was more powerful than Freddy Krueger.

Our family had one. I'm not sure I understand your point. 20 years ago would've been 1995; 12 years, 2003. That's an acceptable time frame to be playing a Game Gear I think.

I definitely had one in the late 90s / early 2000s. I loved that thing!

I still play a Gameboy today, and not one of the modern muck, the real car-sized pea-green screen with cartridges as big as jigsaw puzzle boxes.

You folks are more missing the point. Nobody played the Sega Game Gear when it was new, let alone today.

Funny you say that and I still play it to this day (even though the handheld has major faults like a bad screen and other problems). Shinobi is about the best game on the handheld, but Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse, Vampire: Master of Darkness, Crystal Warriors, Dragon Crystal, and Shining Force: Sword of Hajya are all great games. You probably say nobody cared about the Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast, but they're major consoles that are still played and enjoyed to this day.

The game gear and the flip phone. Those are two things that don't make much sense together. For the game gear to have been "popular" we'd have to place it around early 90's to at most mid 90's. The flip phone however is around 2000-2003 even.

It makes no sense that they would have been using a game gear. Gameboy color/advance perhaps but not a game gear. It would have been very old and outdated by that time. It's not like that family was poor so those kids would have had the latest toys.

I have no idea about that IR pistol thing, I remember seeing them as a kid but not sure what time they were around.
