I remember trying to buy the T.V. thing but couldn't find it at the stores by me. It was advertised like on the back of the Game Gear box or something or I woulda never known about it.
i remember when my parents got me one... i was little and i think the gamegear was already pretty old but still i loved playing it.. and when we were on vacation with ma school we watched tv with it.. there was this little metal thingy you could attach to its back to make it stand on tables.. so we put it on the table of our room and watched tv looking at it from four beds ... haha on that small screen and we didnt even care what we were watching it was better than sleeping early^^
The TV turner had an ohm32 aeral jack for cable TV (or RF plugs). With a simple adapter I could hook it to the cable box in hotels and watch tv in the bathtube. Even without cable I could get the 2-3 main channels under my pillows in summer camps.
to fucking bad I had one UNTIL when I was little my moms x husband turned out to be an abuser(hit her bad) and she had to leave exactly after and I GOT ALL MY SHIT LEFT BEHIND!! OMG im madddddd
Apparently, this commercial inspired the movie, Gamer.

@rockolutheran I bet it didn't since I had one and watched it with my eyes and spoke about how it looked good with my mouth and words.

I didn't know the game gear could be used as a TV. Just like the DS then.
