OMG this one hits home. I remember talking my friend into lending me his Game Gear for something like 2 or 3 days (or maybe it was for a weekend, I dunno), and during those few days, I was pretty much glued to the thing. It made my Game Boy feel like such a piece of primitive b&w garbage.
But the battery drain was crazy. I didn't understand at first why my friend also included the AC adapter when he lent me the thing. Wasn't this supposed to be a portable that you can carry around? I very quickly found out how much of a battery hog it was.
