If it didn't release on the west it was never a killer app

A lot of them actually were and the most of the ones that didn't have fan translations now.
So really, you have no excuse.

Game Gear came out in '90 / '91.
It had a color screen and had games equivalent to (ports of) the home consoles that were just ending.
We only had one TV. I wasn't allowed to play games on school days and on weekend nights family was usually watching movies / TV. But I could plug in the game gear and stay up all night playing games under my blanket fort.

Good game ≠ Killer app

It didn't have one, but it didn't really need it. It was one of the first ever handheld full video game consoles. Humanity had never seen this shit before. And was 160 × 144 with color 8-9 years before the game boy. The thing is even backlit! In 1990/91 when in '99 people were buying those plug in lights for their gameboys.
Absolutely no killer app unique to it, for sure.

>>12521838
The TurboExpress was all that and more. If the Game Gear actually had been the only color, backlit handheld on the market, I think it would’ve fared significantly better.

That thing is cool as hell, but I have never once seen one.

Virtua Fighter 2 was incredibly popular though.

>Master System
Master System had Wonder Boy 3 and Golden Axe Warrior. These two games on their own more than justify buying the console, although it has many other great games.
>>12521775
GG Shinobi and Wonderboy 3 (again) are killer apps on the Game Gear.
>>
>>12521775
The killer app was that it was in color.

Wonderboy 3 is one of the greatest games ever made but Golden Axe warrior is complete junk.

If you want a shameless zelda 1 ripoff, the Neutopia games on PC Engine are far better than golden axe warrior.

It's killer app is literally on the box dickhead.

It is sad that nearly every accusation of zoomerdom on this website is written by a zoomer insecure about his age.
>>
>>12524035
Honestly, I bought a PcEngine for Neutopia and was massively disapoointed. Haven't tried 2 yet but the first one really had that 80s japanese PC lack of quality to it.
Golden Axe Warrior, on the other hand, I find to be the best Zelda 1 style game, with awesome exploration.
