If you're gonna go out on a train or a bus you gotta bring something with style. I'm talk'n Atari Lynx or NeoGeo Express! And if you have the funds you can listen to some music on your Sega CDX. Only then you'll be a cool kid. |

I took my Game Gear with me on a trip down to the Bay Area, which is 3 1/2 to 4 hours away, and it lasted me the whole trip without dying. And that was with it playing Master System games through the converter. |

So the converter doesn't contain any circuitry that would consume any extra power. It's just a pass threw device thats maps a MS pin connectors to the appropriate Game Gear pinout. |

I've had some strange looks when I would take my Atari Lynx out and about. I'm surprised at how many people didn't realize Atari made anything past the 2600, never mind a handheld. |
