    If you hold the START button you can then save/load state, change brightness and go back to the MENU. Sorry we forgot to show that bit! You can only save FOUR profiles max per game.

    Omg, this thing is adorable. I'm with ya on the black, just because it's the original colour. I looked on ebay and the price is a little on the heavy side. I love the fact that they kept the buttons as the original. Yep getting mine then wrapping it up for the time capsule 🤣. Thanks for a great unboxing👍🏾

    I know it wouldn't have been 'Micro' but it would of been cool if they kept the screen size of the original GG, improved the screen with the same native resolution and just made the body smaller. It was unnecessarily chunky for the original screen size due to technology at the time.

      It was a version of both of those games for the game gear. They don't even need to add another emulator to it, they could just put in the game gear versions. I'm with you four games is not enough. I would buy one if they did a Sonic edition with all 10 of the Sonic games released for the game gear... That would be much more worth it to me.
      Or if they just made one I could put my own ROMs on.

Well, at least it does not have Capacitor issues like a real GameGear. Worth it for that aspect, if you have young eyes that can see and play the games on this system.
