    I love the Game Gear...

    Things you miss:
    Defenders of Oasis ( RPG, Round Based Fight, very niche Story ),
    AxeBattler ( Style of Zelda II Adventure, very well made ).
    Crystal Warriors ( Round Based Strategic Fight System, very nice made ).

      Agreed I struggle to choose between the gameboy, Game Gear and Atari Lynx at the time and got a game gear Christmas of 1991 I ever looked back yes the gameboy has better battery life and a lot more titles but the game gear will always have a special place in my heart…… playing shinobi 🥷 while watching jet on gladitiors on a Saturday night come on which teenage boy didn’t have a think for Jet 😂😂

    This list is fantastic! You've really done your homework! I always go crazy that people talk about SMS ports on the Game Gear and not the more original games like the FANTASTIC Power Strike 2...and there it was, the first game! Love it.

  • @waverazor
    @waverazor Před 3 lety +5

  • @jamesaitchison9478

    Nice list, and a strong line up of games shows just how good the Game Gear was as a Hand Held Games machine.

  • @mellowdude5476
    @mellowdude5476 Před 6 lety +12

    I feel like the exclusive tails games and battletoads would make the list.

  • @xalba5245
    @xalba5245 Před 6 lety +8

    Solid list! I agree very much. But I would say that although Sonic Chaos looks definitively better, the first GG Sonic is the best designed and balanced Sonic game ever made by Sega. A masterpiece.

  • @LukesGamePage
    @LukesGamePage Před 6 lety +1

    Nice one, very informative. I don't know that much about the Game Gear and been looking to play some more stuff in the near future, so saved your video for reference :-)

  • @reagandow850
    @reagandow850 Před 5 lety +1

    Don’t know how I missed this video but damn! What a great collection of games for the game gear!!

  • @Reshyrah
    @Reshyrah Před 6 lety +4

    I can definitely appreciate the time that went into making this video but there is one glaring omission here and it's RoboCop vs The Terminator. This Sega Game Gear port is hands down my favorite version. The graphics mimic those found on Genesis, the music is distinct and memorable.. even the occasional voice sample makes it into the game. Packed with 15 levels full of secret areas, hidden lives and weapons.. this is one game I always come back to. Seriously, it should have made this list.

  • @T0m0zuki
    @T0m0zuki Před 3 lety +2

    There are a lot of great games for GG. Road Rash, Jurassic Park, Batman Returns, Lemmings and some others are also worth playing.

    Great vid dude! Love the game gear! Nice pick with Woody Pop, used to love that game back in the day, so fun to play, Shinobi 2 is awesome too! Will have to check out Panzer Dragoon Mini, heard of it before but never checked it out :)

    • @thatvideogamesshow

      Thanks Skill! Dude thanks for suggesting Woody Pop would never have heard of it other wise!

  • @JimHarrisonFilm
    @JimHarrisonFilm Před 6 lety +10

    Did anyone ever play Popils? It was an incredible puzzle game, but I never see it it any best of lists. It was also one of the only Game Gear games to have battery-backup enabled saving.

    • @obiiWan7
      @obiiWan7 Před 6 lety +2

    • @feiwong3634
      @feiwong3634 Před 4 lety

      I still have it since childhood, I LOVE Popils, one of the best puzzle games I've played. I spent like thousands of hours on it, and creating stages was addicting as hell.
      Fun Fact about it: it was made by Bubble Bobble creator.

      i'm not a h u g e fan of the game, because while, yes, it's very technically impressive, the gameplay is lacking and the homing shots just straight up one-shots anything you aim at

  • @diegog1853
    @diegog1853 Před 2 lety +1

    I don't know if puting some of the most expensive japanese imports as must have is really fair, since most game gear collectors can't have them and might be a long time to get them when they start collecting. To me what separates a must have list from a best games list is that the former is more akin to what every collector should realistically have in their game gear collection, they MUST have these games. There are a ton of 5 dollar GG games that I think everyone should have or search for.
    Cool list regardless.

    very great games of list, but I missed some really good ones like Asterix,Psychic World, Aladdin, Master of Darkness, Devilish, Mortal Kombat II, Ristar, Dynamite Headdy and Wonderboy. It is an incredible handheld that I still enjoy a lot in my free time.

  • @ss8512

  • @JacobSegaNerd

    Batman Returns belongs on this list, considering its more forgiving than its Master System counterpart and plays insanely well for a port.

  • @SylveonTrapito

    The best game on GG was Phantasy Star. Once you got the master system converter LOL. I played that game to death and probably beat it 3x. Man those enemy graphics were AMAZING.
    I am truly sad that Road Rash did not make this list. I played that so much on GG.

  • @the1ucidone
    @the1ucidone Před 6 lety +2

    Great list. But you missed one important game in my opinion. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I'm not kidding you. That game is a freaking masterpiece. So many cool moves and a solid cast of Power Ranger choice. Everyone plays slightly different and your Zords really help bring the action to life. I highly recommend Power Rangers on the Game Gear.

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 Před 5 lety

      Both games are good but the movie adaptation didn't require the unlocking of Tommy because he was already available by default in the main story

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 Před 4 lety

      @matt sort of. especially since the game is basically the same as the regular MMPR game

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 Před 4 lety +1

      @matt the first part of the game is based on Season 2 when Lord Zedd took over as the villain, while the last few stages are adapted from the movie.

    They could have make Shinobi II: Silent of Fury in Mega Drive too. I know I usually like the Shinobi series in a long time but I think it should've belong here. On the Mega Drive, they had The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3, these only 2 games in this system.

    I agree that as someone who's been gaming since the NES, and has a pretty big retro game collection, IMO the Shining Force series is the number one hidden-gem franchise. TBH most older games do not hold up with what we have today. Nostalgia is a powerful drug that tricks our perceptions, but the Shining Force series produced some amazing turn based strategy games for any Fire Emblem fans out there looking to expand their horizons.
