I was a bit conservative myself (or maybe lucky that neighbor kids had a 3DO and Sega CD I could try) but I did own a Sega Game Gear. That thing drank 6x AA batteries like there was no tomorrow. And the game library was very lackluster after the Sonic titles.

    There were NiCad rechargeables. I didn't own a Game Gear, but a friend did, and I remember him using NiCads for that and RC vehicles.

    It's been a looong time. But I think it drank those too? Engineers in those days maybe didn't know how to optimize a full color screen with good brightness like that device sported.
