atari 2600 + sega game gear = atari gear 2600 portable
technabob — ... gaming system, dubbed the Atari Gear 2600. The handheld has a 2.5″ backlit LCD display, and can run for an impressive 7-8 hours on a set of AA batteries. By using the lightweight innards of an Atari Flashback 2, Chris was able to cram in a system loaded with 40 built-in Atari 2600 games. And thanks to a clever 2600 cart slot mod, the system can play original cartridges from the 2600 too. Pitfall portable, here I come! [via Ben Heck Forums] ...

Atari 2600 Crammed Into Sega Game Gear Is Wonderfully Backwards Mod [Modding]
Gizmodo — ... , but taking the '80s-era Atari and squishing it into the '90s-era Sega took some tricky work: it has a built-in 40-game Atari chip, and can actually take 2600 carts into a slot on the back. The resulting "Atari Game 2600" has a 2.5-inch screen and can go for 7-8 hours on AA batteries, which seems pretty impressive. [Ben Heck via ...

It Takes Two To Make A Thing Work Right
GEARFUSE — ... Someone took a shitty Atari 2600 and shoved it inside a shitty SEGA Game Gear system. Both systems had their flaws, so combining the two should result in a big ol’ shitpile of a console . It uses the Game Gear’s backlit screen and uses the Atari for the actual gaming. With over 40 built-in games and a cartridge slot rigged up, you could game for hours. 7-8 hours to be specfic. Damn AA batteries! Hey, at least there’s no terrorist propaganda involved with this mod.

Atari 2600 Plus SEGA Game Gear [Modding]
Kotaku — ... a fitted an Atari 2600 emulator into a SEGA Game Gear shell. What it lacks in slick good looks, the modder makes up in functionality. It's possible to load actual 2600 cartridges in the portable's back slot. Dubbed the "Atari Gear 2600," the handheld can go for 7-8 hours on AA batteries. Looks aren't everything! Oh, and the guy who made this? His name is Chris Koopa. And he should really should be doing Nintendo mods, not Atari and not SEGA ones.
