The Game Boy in particular was from Gunpei Yokoi’s design philosophy, “lateral thinking with withered technology”.
Honestly not a bad choice, especially for the time. Even if it was late in GB’s life, pokémon would have never worked on a system that eats 6 batteries in 3 hours.
Did the Game Gear even last 3 hours? Felt like 1 or less, but I might be remembering it after being forced to use nicads after the rents got sick of buying new alkalines.
Really needed a car lighter adapter, but never had one.
