Hey it's time for another 11 facts video, this time on Sega's first portable game system, the Sega Game Gear! Marvel at things you might have known already but there's a chance you didn't! Guffaw at learning something small but new about something you thought you already knew for sure! Also, be sure to view this at 60fps minimum!
