Is the Game Gear the most underrated /vr/ system?

All the Sega systems are underrated, and the Game Gear is even more underrated than the Master System.
Back then, the Game Gear was considered the fanciest portable console, while the Game Boy was for peasants (everybody had it, monochrome games, very small). Now, the peasants get their revenge by only talking about their console like the Game Gear didn't even exist.
The only game gear exclusives that are worth playing are gamemasters legacy, mega man and Sylvan tale. Arena: maze is death is also OK
The sonic exclusives are not worth playing
I got one before a Game Boy.
Batteries issues killed the purpose of a portable system, though I do admit it was cool to have a color handheld from Sega in the early 90s, I ended up not using it much outside because of that.
Game library could be better, it has good games, I was entertained by Sonic chaos and Deep Duck Trouble as a kid, but later on when I started exploring the catalogue more, I realized there weren't that many games I was interested on it that weren't Sega-developed.
Plus, the screen of my GG died, which sadly is a common issue. I haven't bothered to fix it, I emulate on PSP if I ever feel to play GG.
Overall, I don't think it's underrated, people still mention it, remember it as being cool for being in color, and having good Sega games, but most people will tell you to play on SMS because of better resolution (but worse sound? unless FM module on MarkIII, not sure).
Game Gear could get a lot more hate, I rarely see people hating on it, so I think it's correctly-rated, it's not horrible and was awesome for the time, but nowadays, there isn't much unless you're a Sega fan.

What are you talking about? No one cares about the exclusives. It's a portable console. You bought it to play amazing ports, like the one of Gunstar Heroes:

The thing is there are a lot of good games but the hardware itself is kind of shitty
Now with GG2SMS the games are much more playable

ehhh I liked it better when they made brand new games around the limitations of the system like Tempo Jr and Sonic 1
I'd say it's underrated. But again, most platforms are. It has a nice library, though
