Building a new SEGA GAME GEAR in 2021! | Reverse Engineering And Making It Better

This is truly a Game Gear that has been made in 2021 using all new parts and very minimal parts (only 3) from the Original Game Gear. Let’s take a closer look! Also, watch until the end to find out how to enter the Giveaway!
