This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro information, I’m utilizing the flickering backlight of Columns’ jewel-matching chain reactions to mild a 34-candle cake for the Sega Sport Gear. Again in 1991, this chonky so-and-so arrived with color visuals that made the Sport Boy appear to be a tragic calculator, and I bear in mind being floored by the novelty of moveable Sonic in full RGB.
That mentioned, the dream of a conveyable, kinda-sorta Mega Drive got here with a number of merciless trade-offs. Battery life was a working joke, the display screen ghosted like a séance, and good video games had been oddly skinny on the bottom. Nonetheless, I can not overstate how futuristic it felt to depart my Sport Boy at residence and play this on a faculty bus. It was the last word brag till all six (!!!) AAs invariably died in subsequent to no time.
