- While the Nintendo Switch is the only handheld platform left, back in the day there was a war between the GameBoy and Game Gear. The Sega Game Gear had bunch of hidden gems on it that no one talks about or remembers, so let's talk about some today!

A RETRO VID? IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Be sure to share and like the vid if you enjoyed it!
Game Boy and Game Gear both dropped around a time in my adolescence to teach me the value of money by way of A) Not owning either one, and B) learning how much batteries actually cost. It was actually a really great lesson, and my Dad got my brother and sister involved so we all understood that in theory the money we would "save" could go to buying or renting NES games. It's actually a fond memory I still have despite the fact that we were all getting news we didn't want to hear.
How did you stream the game and get that cool border? Emulator?
Hey daddy🤦
RGT 85 - you do a great job with these vids dude. Please make more of them!!
I was lucky enough to have both the Game Gear and GAMEBOY growing up. Although, I have many more memories of playing the GAMEBOY, it was partly due to the Game Gear having dead batteries. I didn't have many games but I remember I did have sonic 2 and a Tetris style game called "Collumns". God I miss the 90s.
The Game Gear also had a couple really cool Shinobi games, some solid X-Men titles, and literally ALL the best Power Ranger games. I loved this system so much.
Here in Brazil we enjoyed all of these games without having a GameGear! The Master System was such a successfull console, that Sega adapted GameGear games all the time. 3 Mortal Kombat games were released.
One of my favorite games on the Game Gear was something no one I have ever talked to has heard of - James Pond CodeName: Robo Cod II. Loved that game.
I got that the other month
i think that game was a european exclusive
@@ArcadeCabNBud Couldn't of been, I live in the States and my dad had just bought it from the local toy store at that time
Played that on pc, it was amazing for the time. Have to revisit it.
@@ArcadeCabNBud nope, it came out worldwide. James Pond 3 was EU exclusive.
All the X-men games were great. I loved this system
“Hidden gems “ somewhere in Seattle metal Jesus rocks is smiling.
😂😂
Vampire: Master of Darkness was one of the last Game Gear titles released via 3DS Virtual Console, I did download it.
How could a sega game gear title come out on a nintendo system?
What I love about Defenders of Oasis is how it's a classic JRPG set in a middle eastern fairy tale world, that's totally for me. My one complaint is that there are no explanations of what each item does so I have no idea what heals and such.
“What the heck is the rope for????” - everyone
Is Joe from Game Sack gonna pop up dressed as Metal Jesus Rocks and say, "did somebody say Hidden Gems?"
Bob cornhole was.cool.sonic 2 was a hidden gem 😉.
@@ootwii a Plastic Game Room shout out to Bob Cornhole. Wherever you are
@@BatCritic21 i luv that episode of gamesack...it was the best..
@@ootwii definitely! Loved the AVGN spoof!
@@BatCritic21 the irate gamer was dead on as well...i had too look several times just too make sure it was still gamesack...givin daves channel a dislike at the end cracked me up..
Still have my game gear
Does it still work? I heard the screens dont hold up over the years
I have a black and blue game gears! Both collecting dust! I can play these games on my raspberry pi! 😂
Mine works
Same dude had it since 1991🥰👍🏻
Game gear sucked even then. The whole device is rambling and doesnt feel right compared with the gameboy. Something is was off qith it
Dragon Crystal was my first RPG style game I've ever played and from there I fell in love with all RPGs
My dad bought me a Game Gear with a magnifying screen to make the game look bigger but I never really played it. I wish I still had it now that I play more games.

You can get a shout out too, its a paid service.... Very sad thing to use on an intro...
My first console!!! Got Sonic The Hedgehog, Outrun and Columns. So many good memories!
Love your Switch stuff, but your retro videos were what got me into watching you on CZcams.
My first system! And still collecting for it to this day. Great to see RGT talking about my beloved GG. Great video!
I grew up with alot of these for the Master System 😊. Both the Master System and the Game Gear are such underrated consoles. C'mon Sega! How about a Master System Mini!?
"Tails Adventure" is awesome. I even have the 3DS Eshop version.
I’ll never forget getting the game gear for Xmas when it released, I was so excited. I popped the 6 aa batteries in it fired sonic up, and within a lil over an hour the batteries died lol
Only thing better then your retro videos is your sega videos. Great detail and your love of sega shines just a little.
My brother got me your book for Christmas. Great job Shawn I am really enjoying it
It's also worth noting that the Game Gear isn't region locked, and the different regions had unique game libraries. No matter where you live there is an awesome import library that is actually pretty affordable compared to most systems. Half the fun of collecting from the system is ordering stuff from Japan, Brazil, and the UK for less than most NES collectors pay for their domestic games.
RGT please keep doing retro vids dude. Also loving that pizza parlor arcade look you got going on with the 1up arcades.
I'm watching it finally. Merry Christmas RetroGameTube 85
I need to fix my game gear.
I love watching your videos and admire your confidence. I'm taking notes so I can be more comfortable on camera myself
I dont see many Game Gear videos on YT. So thanks for taking the time to show us some great games for the system. Its awesome to see love for the GG and 32X. Cheers.
Finally some retro vids 🙌 only reason why I watched your channel - keep up the good work and don’t forget where you started 👍
When I had one I got the TV cartridge that allowed me to watch TV since those frequencies aren’t in use anymore it doesn’t work sadly.
I like some of this old RGT content.
The Game Gear was great but the battery consumption was a factor for a lower success.
I didn't know one of my favorite childhood villains was so fond of gaming.
@@archibaldc.1833 Entertainment is a business, and if there is business, then I will put my claw on it.
But first things first, I need to be informed to understand it.
Same here, I miss the old RGT retro vids. The game gear and the lynx ate batteries up but they both have some amazing games on them.
SEGA have done a really interesting work between Game Gear and also the Nomad.
Some decades ago I had my claws on a Nomad, but use it full AC to the wall. The 6 AA battery consumption was like having a 1973 Lincoln Continental in your hands.
one of my all time favorite games is surf ninjas on game gear and if you remember the movie the kid plays a game gear the entire time and the game he plays becomes the game he's living.
Awesome video Shawn! That's a great list. Some other favorites of mine are: Space Harrier, Aladdin, Cutthroat Island.
Growing up, I only ever saw one person, an older teenager, with a Game Gear. Tiger handhelds were much more common with kids my age at the time. I was one of the lucky few that owned some of them as well as a Gameboy. Okay enough rambling. Good video RGT. Keep the nostalgia/retro vids coming.
My five favorite game gear games are sonic chaotic, streets of rage 2, mega man, sonic drift 2, ninja gaiden 2, outrun Europe.
FINALLY! I want retro content as often as I get deli meat content!
Deli meat content isn't on this cgannel...
And I don't get why anyone's interested in what kind of meat a guy living in a hotel eats
@@NintenDub I got $40 on roast beef.
Defenders of oasis was honestly amazing. I was lucky enough to have a game gear at the time it was released and that game somehow fell into my hands completely randomly. I could not believe it. Way ahead of its time, cool combat system with initiative (speed) and also spells that you had to find in the actual dungeons for the genie character. Memorable characters, good pacing despite the little grinding required at times, nice twists in the story but more importantly amazingly unique setting. Arabian nights.
Nothing more I could ask for as a kid, even the graphics were pretty bonkers for 92 for a handheld device, hugely influential as it was probably the first pure rpg I ever played. Finished it 3-4 times total or something. Thinking about it, it later led to dnd and a way down the rabbit hole when it comes to rpgs. Great memories. Its criminal how underrated this title is, but on the other hand the game gear was never a huge success as a handheld console, and very few games ever released on it, let alone great ones. Thanks for the nice review and memories.
My first rpg. .. was 5 or 6 at the time... loved the Arabian settin... went on to all the final fantasy... but Defender's of oasis is where it all began
Awesome!! So glad you did this video the game gear was great. Not many videos out there on the GG hopefully you'll do a follow up on more gems. Great job.
I had like over 40 games for Gamegear I even had a Gamegear suitcase😂😂 some of my favorites where Shinobo, strider, NBA jam te, Chuck Rock 2, choplifter and X-Men
Edit: nice list the only one I heard of was Tails adventure
I miss these types of videos. I get why you do the news type videos but it's good to see these types of videos from you again!
legit bro keep it up i grew up in the 90s so man this is amazing
My favorite piece of retro tech is the NES Advantage. Tnx RGT, happy New Year...🎉🎉🎉
I remember getting the Sega Game Gear and the first games I got were Phantom, Chessmaster and Desert Strike.
Love my Game Gear. I usually play it plugged into the wall since the battery life is short. Good video!
Me and my siblings all got game gears. Sister had Jurassic Park, I had the X-Men game.
Great to see u doing a retro video again..I'd love u to do more of them
I never heard of Tempo Jr. Thanks for showcasing this list of Hidden gems of Game Gear Games. I mean there's bound to be more within any console system/handheld system that is overlooked. Keep up the great videos like this one.
Top quality video RGT 85.
I never had a Sega GameGear growing up but my Sister and use too play on it but too be honest I can't remember what I played lol. Definitely more Retro vids in 2020 bud 👍.
I have every game that was released in the states. I play with my modded game gear. It's the best.
I loved Defenders of Oasis! Definitely one of my favorite games on the Game Gear!
Such a good game, great soundtrack too
Nice!!! Keep up the awesome work with retro games! Thanks
I love videos like this one RGT85!
I love your retro game news and reviews
Jurassic Park was awesome. One of my favourite Game Gear games. I love the scenes after you beat a Dinosaur boss!
Sonic Drift 2 was featured on Sonic Gems Collection, which I picked up for GameCube 14 years ago from the time I'm posting this at Toys R Us along with Viewtiful Joe 2. I really enjoyed this one.
I still have my Game Gear with a bunch of games. I even have a rechargeable battery for it that probably doesn't work anymore.
I feel that no-one talks about games on the Game Gear because, so many were just ports of Master System games.
In answer to your question, I had Batman Returns for the Master System (it’s the same game) as a child, and I loved it!
Batman!!! That game was dope, even holding the jump button in while falling off an edge to get Batman to glide down with his cape!!! totally awesomeness 👍🏼
Golden Axe Warrior is great on GG as well as Shinobi GG. Glad you're making some retro videos again. Hope to see some live streams again too.
Excellent information on a classic little machine 👍
Happy to see the retro video.
I never knew Tempo was a grasshopper ! One of the better Game gear vids RGT !
Awesome vid. I loved my Game Gear.
My fav was Chuck Rock and Chakan the forever man. Both were on genesis too if I remember.
Tempo I didn't even know existed for the GG. With the split screen action I could see where the GG adapter for Sonic Drift would come in handy. More viewing room for gameplay. YES...bring more retro back 85!!
I never knew the Tails game was a Mertroidvania style, I always just overlooked it. Very awesome video man.
Please keep making more retro stuff. It was the reason I subbed and all.
Happy New Year Shawn
love these retro videos
Thank you for the Retro video. I really enjoyed it a lot
Cool man, was refreshing to watch. Now I have some new games to pickup ;-p
Never heard of any of those, thanks, great video
Who knew the most faithful Jurassic Park game was on Game Gear? Even had the helicopter scene from the opening portion of the actual film and Ellie in the power bunker trying to re-prime the fuses to the fences. I'm gonna have to grab that one now...
Great video! I still have the world series edition GG that I bought new. I never had very many games for it though. Would love to pick up some of those shown in the vid.
I love your retro stuff!!!
Love it! Please do more and I would love it if you could put a title at the bottom of the video for each game you’re talking about. I have to try that Tails’ Adventure
Good selection of games! Didn't even know about most of them. Some of my favorite gems are: The Lion King, Power Rangers, Ecco The Dolphin, the X-Men games, due to the fact that Sonic 2 came with the game gear, I do have Sonic 1 for it too. I still have my game gear and all the games. I play them every once in a while.
I played Psychic force on the GameGear an I loved it great Video man!👍
I love your retro videos
Power Strike 2 was an amazing shmup. Ninja Gaiden was pretty good too.
The Game Gear version of Shining Force was the closest thing to strategy I was getting since I didn't have a Genesis at the time. Gorgeous game.
Batman returns was amazing. So satisfying swinging on the grappling hook. Must have beaten it a dozen times. Pretty quick play once you got everything down. Also loved Streets of Rage 2 and Road Rash.
Finally! Do More retro reviews!
I still own my original copy of defenders of oasis to this day in fact I still whistle some of the songs all the time. Crystal warriors and shining force were other amazing games.
Defenders of oasis was one of my faves growing up
Love the retro vids!
Great vid! More please 🙏
I had a limited collection, but recall playing World Series Baseball (although I'm not really a baseball fan) and X-men a lot.
Yes more retro videos please!
Great video RGT and I like the 32x tie in. What about doing a documentary style video next?
Batman Returns was awesome on the Game Gear!! And I DID order a copy of the book, but I'm still waiting for it. Ordered a signed copy. Can't wait to read it!
This why I subscribe to your channel at the beginning
I remember getting my Game Gear back in '93 for Christmas. I don't know if it's a hidden gem or not but RoboCop vs. Terminator is my all-time favorite game on the system. The graphics are solid and even the music is decent. I actually prefer this version over its bigger brother, the Sega Genesis. 😊
Longtime supporter love all these retro videos actually had a game gear and it was a classic system
GG Aleste is one of my top Game Gear games. The OST on it slaps
Wow, there are 3 I never heard about. Good video.
Loved the vid, love retro and this episode was a nice throwback to your earlier videos. I miss the original RGT85 intro song...remix?
Halley Wars was my favorite. Plus if you had the battery pack you wouldnt need to worry about the speed in which Game Gear drained batteries.
Love the retro stuff
I own several game gears (one with led light) and many original games - a very unique system. Unbelivable for that time and really expensive. But the Atari Lynx was also very good!
Thank you loved the video!
I saw one a few years back at a thrift store for like 10 bucks. There were some other games there too. I'm pretty sad that I passed on it. The Game Gear always seemed so cool.
Yeah! Great video man! More retro please.
