What are some accessories available for Sega Game Gear?

The Sega Game Gear had a decent range of accessories available, although its library wasn't as extensive as its rival, the Game Boy. Here's a look at some of the notable options:

Essential Accessories:

* AC Adapter: A must-have for extended play sessions. The Game Gear's battery life was notoriously poor.

* Carrying Case: Protects your Game Gear and games during transport.

* Headphones: For private gaming sessions or to avoid disturbing others.

* Screen Protector: Helps prevent scratches and damage to the Game Gear's screen.

Enhancement Accessories:

* Master System Converter Cable: Allows you to play Master System games on the Game Gear.

* TV Tuner: Turns your Game Gear into a portable television.

* Sega Link Cable: Enables two-player multiplayer games.

* External Battery Pack: Provides longer battery life.

* Backlit Screen Kit: Some third-party companies offered aftermarket kits to add a backlight to the Game Gear's screen.

Peripherals and Controllers:

* Sega Game Gear Controller: A wired controller for improved ergonomics.

* Sega Game Gear Mouse: Used with select games that supported mouse functionality.

* Sega Game Gear Modem: Allowed for online play, though limited and short-lived.

Less Common Accessories:

* Game Gear CD Player: A peripheral that attached to the Game Gear and played audio CDs.

* Game Gear Printer: Allowed you to print screenshots and other images.

* "The Power of Two" Expansion: A short-lived addon that contained a second cartridge slot, enabling simultaneous play of two Game Gear games.

Note: Many of these accessories are now considered rare and collectible items. Availability varies depending on the region and time period.

The Game Gear's accessory library offered a good variety of options for those who wanted to enhance their gaming experience, even if it was ultimately overshadowed by the Game Boy's success.
