North America saw a staggered launch for the Game Gear across April 1991, making it difficult to pin-point an exact launch date. Sega of America organised a staged event on the 5th of April, in which a helicopter supposedly carrying the first batch of Game Gear consoles and software, arrived on the docked USS Intrepid aircraft carrier (the home of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum) in New York. On board were 600 “avid Sega fans” – kids which had been mobilised by the likes of local radio station Z-100 specifically for the event. Of that figure, 100 were sons and daughters of service personnel who had taken part in Operation Desert Storm and were currently stationed in Forts Hamilton and Tottem.
