I love those stories.

There is this story about the head of Nintendo Yamauchi authoritatively canceling at the last minute a deal between the Game Boy team and Citizen to manufacture their lcd screen, and giving the market to Sharp. Having to apologize for their boss breaking the deal, the Game Boy team is said to have concocted a new project for a color handheld and then shown it to Citizen with the promise that they would be the sceen manufacturer. But it's highly probable that Citizen and the Game Boy team both knew without saying it that Nintendo would never produce a new color handheld so soon after the Game Boy. And so, recently, some have theorized that Citizen soon after that may have talked Sega into producing a color handheld - and indeed shortly after the Game Gear was conceived with a Citizen screen.
Were you still working for Sega when they released the Game Gear ? do you know something about this ?
