(p.s. i dont know if you care or not, but nintendo made a zelda game, and "mario hotel" for that system.)

The Panasonic Q is a dvd enabled Gamecube it is not home to such classic tripe as "Hotel Mario" and what I assume you're referring to as the licensed out "Zelda adventure" series. You're thinking of the Phillips CD-i.

"Poor Game Gear. It was everything the GBA is, and with a light. Dunno how it died so. "

Have you even played the GBA? how exactly does the 8-bit Gamegear stack up to the 32 bit Gameboy Advance? The GBA within the first few months of launch had a better library than the Gamegear's entire lifespan (5 years +).
Want a light? try the GBA SP
As far as the Neo Geo goes; its a great system that did a few genres of gaming really, really well. People shouldn't let other peoples attitudes affect their own personal opinion of a quality console.
