For me, it has to be PSP, it was WAY ahead of its time.

Also remember that I added windows 95 in it to see the capabilities and it was taking 10 minutes just to boot into windows hahaha

I broke it when I got drunk one day though, still miss it :(

“Grew up” with the game gear which got a ton of use.

But the PSP was amazing in college for passing time between classes. What a device ahead of its time.

For me it was the Game Gear, I had so much fun playing that. Although I did have to fashion my own external battery pack for it.

Game gear, I loved that thing. Sonic games, the Itchy and Scratchy game, and I also remember a creepy vampire game too that I would play late at night and it would scare me so much.
I also have some memories of a Spiderman game that was my brother's.

I still have my green Gameboy and some games, and that was awesome too. I just wish I still had my Game Gear.

Me and my brothers had game gears growing up, those things chewed through some batteries, but had some darn good sonic games on them

Game gear for me as well. When your a kid, your favorite console is whichever one you were lucky enough to own, be it a gift from a parent, or one you bought with chore money from a friend.

I loved my Game Gear. I always had the AC adapter, so I didn't actually burn through many batteries (never played in the car because the motion gave me a headache). Although I eventually had quite a few games, the ones that I played the most were Sonic 2, Mortal Kombat, and Spider-man/X-Men Arcades Revenge.

Nostalgia alone will probably always keep the Game Gear my favorite handheld, despite how awesome all the Gameboys, DSs, and PSP things that get made. That said, the Neo Geo Pocket holds a high place in my heart as well.
