the real reason it was such a bitch for power is that it had a compact flourescent tube for the backlight.

when you remove that and replace it with a LED backlight suddenly the battery life explodes.

I figured the backlight was a big part of it. crazy that people actually modded a game gear

You would not believe the amount of mods the GameGear has, my dude.

and they are expensive as fuck, lol

I can't say I loved the Game gear enough to go that route, but seeing as I have had people try to argue with me that E.T. for the Atari 2600 is actually a fine game, there are enthusiasts for everything.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
