Its been a while since ive played a retro handheld, and im thinking of gamegear, original gameboy and lynx now. Instead i have been spoilt by the pixel perfect clear screens of my GBA SP and DS. Now i find it really difficult to play the older handhelds, especially fast moving games like sonic, because the screen blurs so much, its difficult to see whats going on. Not a problem for the old gameboy games as they work fine in my SP. But i just cant be bothered to play a gamegear anymore, lucky most of the games are on sms. Am i alone in this?

The screen looks terrible and hurts my eyes,
The two Game Gears ive tried both have broken sound, one doesnt work at all, the other is really small sound
I need to replace the caps inside

I still play my Game Gear but I did only buy it a month back. The screen does get very blurred in some side scrolling platformers. Haven't played by Gameboy in years since I use my GBA for the games.
If you want a good retro handheld with really good scrolling I suggest you buy a Neo Geo Pocket Color.

yeah i already have a neo geo pocket, i bought it for Sonic pocket adventures, a really cool conversion/remake of the megadrive game Sonic 2.
And despite being non-lit, the screen on that is really good, even better than the original gameboy advance.
Its a shame sega never copied nintendos idea of updating their handhelds whenever newer technoloby came around. A gamegear with a better screen, and using a couple less batteries would have been great.
