the game gear took six AA batteries and ran out of juice in a half an hour. what a lovely handheld

at least the nomad could play genesis/mega drive games on the go, even though its battery life was similarly poo poo

Is "Blast Processing" an actual unique thing the Genesis had (like Mode 7) or is it just marketing elaboration for "We are faster than the competition"?

Anyway, is there a link for the usenet archive Google itself put out?
