Something just occured to me. The big thing with GBC was supposed to be that it had color right? But the GameBoy still seemed to keep it's low graphics and even the colors that were supposed to be such a big breakthrough for handheld games were weak and poor. But about 10 years ago wasn't there a Game Gear out that had really amazing graphics and bright rich colors. And apparently it could even play tv with a special connector.

Sure it used up a LOT of batteries but it was out there, so again, what was the big turning point in gaming with GBC?
