Game Gear was just the perfect level of chunky for games to have that nice pixelated quality forcing creative art styles while also not feeling constrained. I got an Analogue Pocket a while back and my Game Gear library has been growing steadily.
But you have to keep it plugged to the USB cable or the battery won't last for more than a few minutes.
I assume this is a joke about the GG. Yeah that thing was hilariously power hungry. “Portable” in that case meant “within 6 feet of any power outlet!”
