The Game Genie.

The Game Genie is a runtime ROM modification Game Enhancer device. This is one of the many Game Genie products available. This game genie featured a interesting design; when the Game Genie is inserted into the Game Gear, than a dust cover would need to be flipped open in order to insert a game . The code book could be stored in a small compartment, or the pages could actually be peeled off and stuck onto the back of the game, as they were stickers.

Like the Genesis Game Genie it was given Sega's seal of approval.
