- It may have had its flaws, but Sega's 8-bit portable system definitely had some gems in its game library. Join www.WatchMojo.com as we countdown our picks for the Top 10 Sega Game Gear Games.

For this list we're taking a look at what we feel are the finest titles available for the Sega Game Gear. Ranging in genre, scope and style, these games defined their system while being interesting in their own right. Normally for lists like this we would normally exclude ports, but since the Game Gear’s exclusive library was very limited ports will be allowed.

While the other choices are quite reasonable, I can't see how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 made it to the first place. Sonic Triple Trouble is much better in every possible way and even has two playable characters. Thanks for mentioning Tails Adventure though. It really is a masterpiece in its own way.
😂 it's the best Sonic game ever
@Cory Armstrong nah I've played them all and I meant sonic 2 on the console
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 best Sonic game is Sonic 3 and Knuckles tho
Sonic Triple Trouble shoudv'e have take the top spot, instead of Sonic 2 (8 bits), it's literally the Sonic 3 of the 8 bits, and the only one of the five platformers that is not on the master system. Sonic 2 is way to difficult, and it punish you by killing Tails if you don't get all chaos emeralds, and am pretty much sure everyone stoped playing after the first boss.
What happened to sonic triple trouble? That was a great game and yet so underrated
Def better than Sonic 2, I'd argue also better than Chaos
Yes I loved triple trouble he snow boards how cool is that!!!!
it's not perfect though, just like nearly every game gear games, sure, it features good elements like knuckles, (keep in mind you can't play as him, he's the villian, similar to sonic 3) but it does have some issues, like frame-rate slowdowns, (yes, it's still a problem in games today as it was before) and it's too easy, (i know there might be casual players who disagree and say "HEY!! an easy game is good!") really, a lot of players perfer normal difficuty games. (probably more pepole then those who like too easy games)
Yeaaaah I had it (still in my box..) it was amazing. Much better yes, and Chaos and Drift Racing of course ! But the best is still Sonic 1, by far. Magic (with Koshiro’s music !!!).
I remember being so proud when i completed Sonic 2. I was never very good at gaming so it was a huge achievement for me. I learnt each level through using a cheat code then after months of practise finally went through from start to finish. Great times!
The Game Gear version of Sonic 2 was hard.
know what else is hard?
...diamonds
Because of the screen size. They were too lazy to properly port it like they did with the first sonic.
It's the best game gear game.
@@raz09181 Columns?
@@jeanjean59ful summed up perfectly. Causes a lot of cheap deaths. Lots of jumping and praying.
Great picks.I won my G.G. in a SEGA contest in San Francisco.The best thing I ever won.
My favorite Game Gear game, the 1st "Mortal Kombat"!
GameGear games like "Tails Adventure" and Tails' Skypatrol" makes me wish that we need another Tails game.
Agree
It makes you wish that we need another game. So you’re saying we don’t need another game but you wish we needed one
Sonic 2?? I haven't been able to experience it because I can't even beat the first bloody boss. Zero rings and being on a hill with Robotnik throwing bouncing bombs, almost impossible. Sonic 1, Sonic Triple Trouble and Sonic Chaos were great GG games.
Have you beaten the 1st boss yet?
Hey Michael have you been able to beat the first boss yet?
@@AndruComedy no 😂
Sonic 2 for Game Gear is probably the hardest Sonic game. Even the first boss is super rough.
Kyle Decker you just suck
Did you ever play it?
The balls are so blurry you can barley see. Then there is Green Hills Act 3
The small screen makes the ball hard to see, it's much easier on the master system...
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 doesn't belong anywhere near a Top10 SEGA Game Gear list.
power ranger?
Prince of Persia?
Jurassic park?
berenstain bears?
the lion king?
mortal kombat?
streets of rage?
+venomvsspidey11 cant believe they didnt add power rangers that game was great.
+venomvsspidey11 shining force?
+venomvsspidey11
Also, Sonic 2 gameplay sucked compaired to Sonic chaos if I remember right lol
+bobwillneverdie Actually no, Sonic 2 controls waaaaaaay better than Chaos. But Chaos is more fun to play 'cause Sonic 2 is almost impossible...
+Kevin Höhnisch That fucking lobster... second chaos emerald was a ballache too
Shinobi II, Streets of Rage, Defenders of Oasis, Wonderboy III...
Benjamin Bischoff finally somebody talking about Shinobi 2 ! Crazy, it’s really on the top 5 list !!!!
GG Shinobi is one of the best action games of the 8 bit generation. Super cool graphics, simple story and excellent music by Yuzo Koshiro. It was a real joy to play this portable game.
I had three games for the Game Gear. Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Chaos, and Jurassic Park. Played them all so much, fantastic games. Never bothered with any other ones.
Sonic Chaos was so much fun! I had that, Madden 95, and Columns
I regret selling my game gear a few years back. Def gonna buy a new one and every game on this list.
I have mine, but the screen faded away. It's really too dim to see anything.
I have the carry case and the adapter plus a huge Sega mobile rechargeable battery.
The battery doesn't charge though.
I miss that unit, and the life I had back then. It was a fun time to be alive.
@@victororo462 i know its 3 years, but a dim screen means the capacitors need to be replaced. if you can solder a bit, its like 10 bucks to replace them with ceramic ones that last a lifetime and dont break down after 10-15 years
Shinning Force was pretty fun. That was my first RPG game that got me interested in other RPGs.
Noone ever mentions the Shining Force franchise on any Sega console list.. Those are great games
right, the game gear one is only half of the sega cd one but good luck getting the cd version lol
Best game on the system. Imagine thinking Ax Battler was better than Shining Force. Absolutely unreal to leave that off.
Good to see Tails Adventure featured on the list!
+themusikguySPECIAL Least they didn't put Tails Skypatrol on there, I haven't a clue what I was doing on that lol.
Where the hell was the Game Gear version of Shining Force?
+Harkness78 This is the real question!
+Harkness78 For reals! And including Japanese games but skipping Phantasy Star too.
+Harkness78 This! I don't think I would put all 3 of Gaiden I, Sword of Hajya and Final Conflict on there, but I definitely think SoH of FC could have made it.
Unfortunately it didn't get voted high enough. HOWEVER the biggest problem with the list (I started the list so this is my fault) is that I completely forgot to suggest Sylvan Tale on the list! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! *100 facepalms* If I had done that then Sylvan Tale would have EASILY been #1 on the list. That game is outstanding.
AGREEEE!!!
Sonic 2 for GG is worse than Chaos, Blast, and Triple Trouble. The first boss screen shrink alone makes it that way due to taking an easy 1/10 boss fight and making it a near 10/10 boss fight.
The only game i loved to play on Game Gear was Mortal Kombat. Absolutely loved just jumping in on a mobile platform and start beating up Sub Zero or Scorpion.
My favourite ever was no doubt Shining Force: Sword of Hajya. It was the first strategic RPG I had ever played on a handheld and managed to deliver the original SF experience despite the less powerful system it was running on.
100% if the screen was better I feel this console would’ve been #1 until Pokémon at least.
@@robertpeacock894 they should have just redesigned like tendo did. Dammit sega
this console was ahead of its time, came out before the gameboy color, which is when games in color on handheld consoles really started to take off - gamegear was the pioneer
How could you not even mention Crystal Warriors?! One of the best strategy RPGs I've ever played! Let alone one of the best Game Gear titles!
Omg yes!!! I absolutely loved this game!
Truth. Crystal warrior love
Dragon Crystal is my favorite game for the Game Gear
HELL YEAH DRAGON CRYSTAL
it was great..but hard at the end! those sharks!
I definitely agree with the Number 1 - It's the best ever sonic game I played in 2D. It's not an easy one and thus really fun to replay.
Spiderman Return of the Sinister Six could be on this list too as well as Jurassic Park.

Love how these classic games just look like modern indie games.
You're troll baiting... right?
+TheFeralBishop You're dumb right? Or don't have Steam.
+yellowfolder Ooh watch out guys, we got a badass over here.
+TheFeralBishop still legit statement lol
It's funny cuz it's true
Did you forget that Streets of Rage had a GG port? So did Shining Force and Panzer Dragoon. Double Trouble was also sweet.
The Game Gear kicks ass.
I am a fan of Nintendo but I thought Game Boy is overrated because of the green graphics. Super Mario Land series is good but that's about it for exclusives.
KenTerminatedbyGoogle I know it’s been 3 years but Pokémon
Batman Returns was fantastic on the game gear. I had so much fun playing it as a kid. Streets of Rage 2 was also awesome along with Shinobi 2
I still have my game gear :-) recently changed out all the caps to! Works great
Four years later is it still going strong? I hope so :)
Darren Jones yeah very much! I also put in a new led screen.’it’s great
I remember playing spy vs. spy in this great handheld of its time. my couzin had a 45 in 1 cartridge and it was wonderland for a kid like me growing up in the 90's. ah nostalgia.
Sonic 2 GG.... oh god that first boss, I'm still having nightmares :(
Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble were better IMO.
I loved Sonic Chaos!
@@djemodjemo89 My Favourite Game Gear Game honestly!!!
@@ZackMaster98 Mine too alongside Sonic 2 (8-bit)
@@djemodjemo89 Nice!!!
Can we just take a moment and look at how great these games look? It is amazing how Sega's 8-Bit systems dealt with the detail on the graphics for many of these games.
Sonic 2 for Gamegear sucked! That first boss battle was pretty much impossible. No rings, walking up a steep hill with the "boss" at the bottom and Robotnik throwing bombs with random travel paths? Walk too fast, you run into Robotnik and die. Stop running to avoid a bomb, you quickly slide down to the boss and can't get your momentum back fast enough to avoid it. And bombs in unpredicable patterns constantly hitting you.
I preferred Sonic 1 for it's awesome music (Bridge Zone ftw), but my favorite was Sonic Chaos, with it's rocket boots, ability to control Tails and fly, and it's cool levels.
+TheLegend1800 I came here to post the exact same thing.
Try the Master System version instead. As it has a much larger "screen real estate", so to speak, that boss fight is much easier as a result.
because you are not good at it i liked it better than the first i know its hard because you have to get the chaos emerald to get the real ending and but i do agree with 0 rings of the 3rd act is bullshit should be for the last boss lol
+Gary Housel seeing that your grammar is that of a 6 year old, I don't think you were even alive when Sonic 2 GG came out...
1989 was born and the game came out 1994 so yes i was alive and don't see anything wrong with my grammar and know the difference between than and then haha don't fool your own intelligence grammar nazi lol
lol Game Gear, this thing took 6 freaking batteries
That lasted (at best) 4 freaking hours!
I had a rechargeable one. I played it for hours but it overheated quickly and was hot enough to cook on.
+Ƭωιℓιgнт Sумρнσηу Those were the days!!
+Ryan Spaulding Hell I used a couple of Duracell batteries and add the dollar store ones and I just used all of the dollar store ones until the Duracells go out. LMAO!! Man I miss those days
That thing was absolutely terrible for road trips.
Sega Game Gear was the very first handheld system I ever owned. I loved the games that I had owned but man did it eat batteries quickly.
Sonic Triple Trouble is so much better than Sonic 2
SA3Future no
I would argue Sonic Chaos is also better then Sonic 2 on the Game Gear.
The Game gear was first portable anything I saw with a color screen and my friend got one. It blew my mind that you could play it in poor lighting, I had the original game boy and lighting was always an issue.
1. Sonic 1
2. Sonic Chaos
3. Sonic 2
4. Sonic Triple Trouble
5. Tails' Adventure
So you guys are still stealing footage from Mark at Classic Game room I see.
EXPOSED
@@wistful3631 I hate watch MOJO.
@@daviddurango840 y u here then. They getting paid for the views bruh
Who cares? Does it make their top list any less valid? It is like saying youtubers who do reviews and reactions to other content are stealing content. It’s called Fair Use.
Played and finished Tails' Adventure just last year, fun lil' game ^^
But Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap should definitely be on this list. =)
Did everyone here forget about Ristar?
It was really fun and it had great graphics, it could've been atleast an honorable mention.
Top 10 games where decisions matter.
saints row the third
Not mass effect 3
Undertale
+Christian Smaldone Life.
+Christian Smaldone The Walking Dead
Saw a game gear recently at a video game store. SO much bigger than I remembered
You forgot Shining Force II Sword of Hajya :x
There's a lot of Game Gear games that I love, some are mostly ports of the Master System : Castle and Land of Illusion, Sonic 1 and 2, Super Monaco GP, VR Troopers, Aladin, Columns... Not a single game that I hated on this console. Strangely not seeing Alex Kidd in Miracle World on Game Gear is pretty weird
Triple Trouble was the best Sonic GG game.
YESSSSSSSS
That what I think too, this game is always overlooked.
BrokamaGay I agree with ya. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was an absolute shit game which made it near impossible to make it pass the first boss without save states. Triple Trouble was much better designed imo, making it a great game to play. That should have replaced Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by far.
it is good, however, there are other game gear sonic games that beat it, like tails adventure, or sonic chaos, oh, and before someone lawsuits in replies, I know this is not everyone's opinion and some might have different opinions.
1. Shining force 2 the sword of Hajya
2. Wonder boy the dragon trap
3. Virtua Fighter Animation
4. Streets of rage 1-2
5. Chuck Rock 1-2
6. Gunstar Heros
7. Outrun
8. Panzer Dragoon mini
9. Samurai Shodown
10. Fatal Fury Special
sonic triple truble by far it has sonic on flyskate bords=awsome
I miss Dragon Crystal, Crystal Warriors, Columns (these are on Virtual Console now), Psychic World, Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusions, and Prince of Persia. I know there are more GG games that I forgot, but these are the ones I wish were on virtual console.
Wasnt Shining Force on game gear?
+EASEKMF FIGZ Yeah and it was probably the single best RPG on any portable system until Game Boy Advance
Right-this list is bogus because it left out that title.
One surprisingly good game I had was Power Rangers. It was a fighting game with for the time and system, very smooth fun combat. Well worth picking up for collectors or those enjoying retro fighters.
The game gear was an underrated portable unit. While it didn't have as many games as Gameboy, was bulkier, and had horrible battery life, it really was an amazing handheld console.
Also the X-men games and Sonic were good, but for some reason I remember one of my favs as a kid being the Batman game. I played that game for hours, looking back, I'm not sure how good it actually was, but 10 year old me loved it.
The Game Gear was accurately rated
+Michael Cohen True. I did the led mod and got the everdrive and just the graphics alone show how powerful the machine was.
Some great games on it.
Where's Super Return of the Jedi, Sonic Triple Trouble, and the 2 power rangers games?
OMG! I just realized that I completely forgot to suggest Sylvan Tale on the list when I made it! *Infinite facepalms* That's one of the best Japan-exclusive retro games ever!
The avengers game for the game gear was one of my favorites
Shining Force Sword of Hajya?!?!?!
What about Shinobi II? And Sonic Chaos? Triple Trouble? Space Harrier? Land Of Illusion Mickey Mouse? Tails' Skypatrol? Shining Force II?
My favorite was dragon crystal that game got me hooked for days. Sad I misplaced the Game though as well as my game gear >.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love collecting for the game gear . NBA jam is my fav.

RavagerStickman276 Awwwww - aren't you nice. You need a hug or something?
+RavagerStickman276 Blow me a kiss.
We're there even 10 games made for that thing?
+japzone Were*
+japzone There were actually 58 games made for the thing. Including Call of Duty and Splinter Cell.
Tales Adventure looks cool. Didn't even know it existed.
I actually liked the Gamer Gear game starring Tails.
I loved Sonic The hedgehog 2(8bit) on the Sega Master System
great list... but where is shining force?
Main issue with the Game Gear (aside from Battery Life) is the failure rate of the systems as the capacitors fail quite easily. I replaced all the capacitors in mine and then shortly after the screen back-light failed, probably going to need to do an LED screen mod or a video out mod to continue using it..
This video gets a Nep thumbs up. =)
Nepgear is best nep

I remember my favorite game being the power rangers the movie game. It was a fighting game but was surprisingly good for a handheld. Extremely fast paced and colorful. The good old times....
Top 10 Virtual Boy Games!
I dont think theres 10 games for the virtualboy
+ShyGuy I think there are...barely.
I second this. Plus, Mario Clash would probably be #1
+YamiGekusu Wario Land is considered to be the best (or even only noteworthy) Virtual Boy game by many. Personally, I have never even seen one of those things in real life so I have no opinion on the matter.
why waste time on that console it was a failure no fun in the games lol
Defenders Of Oasis was by FAR my favorite RPG on that system. I loved my Game Gear, until the screen became too faded to play.
Really Sonic 2 WM??? ARE FRICKIN" KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sonic 1, Chaos and Triple Trouble were way much better than Sonic 2 for GG/SMS
Agree!!!
My first ever hand held console. got this way back in 1992. I still have it and it still works
Castle Of Illusion staring Micky Mouse
Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Wounder Boy The Dragons Trap
Columns
Space Harrier
Ninja Gaiden
Mortal Kombat
The Little Mermaid
Super Monaco GP
Lemmings
Ristar
Batman Returns
World Series Baseball '95
I won't argue with the list but I would add that power rangers for game gear was pure badass.
Sonic 2 is ridiculously hard. Fun but hard
That's what she said.
Yeah Green Hills Act 3
Game gear have lots cool RPGs,heck even on virtual console you can find few awesome
Why does Sonic 2 always get the top spot on these list. Sonic 2 on Game Gear is awful, and that's coming from one of the biggest Sonic fans you will ever meet.
honestly I don't think any of the sonic games on game gear are any good.
Whatever floats your boat bud.
+Jaeger Newman Both of these Sonic games were a hell of a lot better on Master System
+Jaeger Newman
I agree whole heartedly. I did like Sonic 1 on the GG, though. What I'm sick of is Jurassic Park never getting put on any of the top 10 lists. Easily my favorite game on the system.
+Jaeger Newman I think it's a good game, but it feels off-brand, kind of like a knockoff Sonic clone (or a beta version - I assume it was rushed to release). I think partly it's because it doesn't have the bright colour palette of the other games, and partly it's because starting a Sonic game with a minecart section is just an awful, horrible idea.
I love that half the games recommended here are $45, or even $200 for Megaman on eBay so it's basically impossible to get them legally for people who actually own the system.
Chris Katko 3DS virtual console
This is a weak and poorly researched list. Sonic Triple Trouble was an actual exclusive and much better than Sonic 2’s port. Shinobi II was also the better game and an exclusive not a port. Tails Adventure, Sylan Tale, shining Force, Defenders of Oasis, Legend of Illusion are all better than most of these and were actually made for the Game Gear.
Defenders Of Oasis. Best game on the system, I say.
Puzzle Bobble, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Triple Trouble, The Lion King and the surprisingly decent Smash TV port immediately come to mind as good games as well. I'm sure I'll think of more later but oh well.
Top 10 biggest open world games.
My top 5 : Sonic 1, Shinobi 2, Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Drift Racing 2, Columns.
But I’ll never forget : The Lion King, Ecco, Primal Rage and Taz.
You forgot Columns and Tetris.
+SAN VAL (GKOALA7) Columns yeah, fun game
Tetris was *NOT* on the Game Gear.
Video game fanatic 5471 I had it.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Batman Returns, The Lion King, Star Wars, Taz-Mania, Ecco the Dolphin, NBA Jam, Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge and Winter Olympic Games.
Sonic 2 gg was awful. Land of illusion was the best
Sonic 2 on the top spot? _WHAT?_
It's the only _bad_ non-spinoff title in the Game Gear... and there were 5 of them!!
1, Chaos, Blast, and the God-tier Triple Trouble all surpass 2.
It's a game where they clearly didn't take the fact that it was meant to be played on a portable console in consideration.
And it's unfairly hard. At all times.
OutRun, Devilish and Sylvan Tale should've been on the list as well.
And no Shinobi is just... _insulting_.
Agree with everything but Shinobi, that game was fantastic and had awesome music! Also I really loved Sonic 1 on GG lol.
Sonic 2 was a TERRIBLE game, they did so many bad level design decisions making the whole game unfair... it's not even due to the small screen (although that increases the unfair difficulty) but the "leaps of faith" was an integral part of the level design, which, to be honest is really bad. Aside from the loop gimmicks introduced, Sonic 1 was a much better game, it was slower paced and better adapted to the format. An Sonic actually felt good to control.
Robocop vs Terminator was my jam back in the day. Oh nostalgia.
Michael Jackson Moonwalker should be on this list
Game gear palette colors is just amazing
I liked the power rangers game that was on the game gear. Cool combos, lots of fun.
4:31 Tails adventure
7:53 Sonic 2
So
These are the Game gear games I like
1: Sonic 1
2: Tails adventure
3: Sonic 2
It might be just like how games used to be made for Sega back then, but way the Arena main character runs is basically the same as the soccer players from FIFA 97 from Sega Genesis
SONIC!!! I played so much of that on the game gear.
Outside of "Shinobi" none of these games are on my favorite list.
Try playing:
-OutRun
-Sonic 1
-Columns
-Shinobi (named in video)
-Lucky Dime Caper starring 'Donald Duck'
-Marble Madness
-Home Alone
-Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators (McDonalds sponsored^^)
-Wonder Boy III - The Dragon's Trap
-Th Ottifants
One game that I thought was surprisingly good on Game Gear was Fatal Fury Special. The controls were similar to Street Fighter II and they actually worked quite well! Great handheld fighting game.
