It is a SMS.  The games play on it with an adapter.

I wanted a Sega Genesis and a Game Gear.  Never got the Genesis, got the SNES instead, so disappointed and upset, but then I played Super Mario World.  Fell in love with that.  Got a Gameboy, wasn't super thrilled, but Tetris was the bomb.  Finally got a Game gear, and that thing blew my mind... and all of my batteries.  It was hands down my favorite thing to play on as a child.  Never had to fight with siblings to get a chance to play, just needed tons of batteries.  That was the first downside.  They eventually, the system just stopped working, and I've been so burned by that that I just hardly care about the system anymore... and it's such a damned shame, because it was innovative and it does have good games.

Yeah it went beyond what the Original Gameboy could do. It is pretty much a scaled down SMS. I guess if the battery life wasn't total crap on it it may have out sold the Gameboy. Also if the Gameboy did not have Tetris. But besides all that its a good system that needs some loving! Also it has the illusion of not taking up any more space such as a Intelvision of Atari 7800.  I almost bout one or both of those this past weekend. I am looking at the game library and some of the prices on them, and there are not too many games for it and the loose prices are not too bad(according to price charting). So it doesn't look like it is too hard to collect for.

I think I have an extra of both of those if you have any interest in trading. ;)

I don't really have much to trade right now...
