The Sega Game Gear was released in 1991 and was an 8 bit backlit color handheld system.
Virtua Game Gear is introduced in 2001-2002 for pocket PC devices.

The Sega Game Gear was a handheld game console and was Sega's response to Nintendo's Game Boy.
The Game Gear was basically a pocket Master System, but allowed a larger color palette, and therefore potentially better-looking graphics.
One of the more famous and unusual peripherals for the Game Gear was the "TV Tuner Adapter", a device that plugged into the system's cartridge slot, and allowed you to watch TV on the Game Gear's screen.

The Game Gear was not very popular in Japan, where it was released to a generally apathetic audience, with build quality issues plaguing it early in its service life.
Although it was a moderate success, the Game Gear did not manage to achieve the commercial success that Game Boy did, in that when it went off the market it was not replaced by an immediate successor.
The Majesco Core Game Gear differed slightly from the original Game Gear in that it was fl and had a purple start button rather than dark grey and a blue start button, the logo on the front of the unit was no longer in color, and it did not support the television tuner accessory.

 GAME GEAR
Sega said "Me too!" Sega wanted in on the new portable gaming market like Nintendo (Game boy of course) and Atari (the Lynx) were in during the early 90's and here we have their Game Gear.
Sega made it easy for them by using their Sega Master system engine for their Game Gear portable machine (which would explain all the 8-bit remakes) and thus the 8-bit Colour portable system was born.
Sega should have tried to remake the bulky Game Gear like Nintendo did when they released the smaller and clearer Game boy Pocket in 1997 instead of just letting their system die off.

Sure, Game Boy fans have to contend with those silly "worm lights" and such for a power source and deal with a smaller screen, but those machines are cheap to operate when compared to the Game Gear.
Also, the Game Gear is bulky as hell when compared to the Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color (I'm not going to bother with mentioning the Game Boy Advance as it came out after Sega was soundly thrashed in the portable market by Nintendo).
While Sega often had machines with superior hardware (compare the Dreamcast to the Nintendo 64 or Sony Playstation, for example), the company was often clueless on how to market products and how to keep customers happy and sticking with the firm when the time came to purchase a new system.

A lone rebel appears with a Game Gear, cueing the narrator's comment of "The Sega Game Gear: Separates the men from the boys." Another showed a gamer hitting himself in the head with a rigid, dead squirrel in order to see color on his Game Boy.
Although Sega was rather proud of these original marketing campaigns, it may have backfired since many gamers - loyal to their existing Nintendo handhelds - saw the ads as offensive, condescending or even patronising.
The blue Game Gear sports edition, identical to the standard Game Gear, except in body color, was released in 1993, with the game World Series Baseball.

Sega's Game Gear was introduced in the early 90's (1991, I believe) to compete with Nintendo's already hugely sucessful Game Boy.
This was a great color gaming system that broght the fun of most of the games of sega's genisis to a pocket version.
For example, Game Gear is more expensive, the games are more expensive, it's bigger, and the WORST thing about a Game Gear is that it's not much of a portable gaming system because it ran on 6 AA's I believe...and it died in about 40 minutes of play.

Sega began work on their 8-bit portable in 1989 after Nintendo's GameBoy was released.
Although the Game Gear (and other portables that tried to compete with the GameBoy) seemed to be much better, the market was looking more for light weight and battery life, which the GameBoy excelled in.
The Master Gear converter was also released, allowing Master System games to be played directly on the Game Gear (but there was no converter that could do the reverse because of the larger colour palette of the Game Gear).

The Majesco Core Game Gear differed slightly from the original Game Gear in that it was fl, rather than dark grey, the logo on the front of the unit was no longer in color, and it did not support the television tuner accessory.
Majesco also re-released games for Nintendo and Sega's defunct 16-bit systems, including issuing a new version of Genesis (the Genesis 3), which, like its Game Gear counterpart, no longer supported all peripherals.

It was indeed superior to the Game Boy both graphically and ergonomically, however, its 3 hours battery time (compared to the Game Boy's 10-35 hours) was a major weakness.
The TV Tuner turned it into a full-color portable TV, the multi-link cable allowed for more than one Game Gear to be connected together and the Master Gear converter allowed Master System games to be played on it.

Gapporin says: Somewhere in the middle of the Game Gear's lifespan, Sega decided to change the materials used in the making of the Game Gear's screen from glass to plastic.
