  • 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!

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
