Sega Game Gear
Sega's attempt to crush the Game Boy. Releasing on April 26th (15th in NY/LA), 1991 in the USA, it achieved moderate success but failed to make a significant dent in Nintendo's dominance, outside of Europe where it achieved something close to 45% market share. This was despite it's pretty powerful specifications, containing a Zilog Z80 clocked at 3.57 MHz, a 160×144 screen with a 4096-color palette, and 24KB RAM. Of course, like with other portables of this era, it's poor battery life of only a few hours resulted in it's failure to overtake anyone but other less capable competitors, such as Atari.
