Game Gear TV

[Cobra Commander]

I saw what appeared to be a RF TV adapter for the Sega Game Gear, maybe it was AM/FM or both. I saw last week at a the Sanford, FL flea market. Anyone know anything about rarity? I didnt get a good look, probably analog tuning, and staticy. Oh well, had to pass on it already blew my budget 'fore I saw it.

I thought that was about the only good thing about the Game Gear, myself. Thought it worked fine, though I'm in the city (well, "city" being Portland, Maine...) and I got several stations. Kind of fun to watch SNL in bed on the thing. They go for about $30-$35 I think.

ive never seen one in a store.. so id consider it rare.. i always wanted one when i had a gamegear, but i coudlnt find one. i ended up selling my gear.. i hardly play handhelds, only one that gets play time is the DS and thats not much these days with the wii here and getting even more games for my Saturn.

It would be cool to hack a "F" connector into it, and hook up a VCS for kicks.

I believe it does have an antina port, and you can get a coax adaptor for that, and then the RCA to coax adaptor for that Then you could play your Atari on the GameGEar. That would be coo (I've done this with my GBA, and my X0Box

If you looking for a very rare item for GG, search about Master System Conversor, for play SMS games in your game gear. I dont' have this, I have a sms conversor for sega genesis (I kind of 32x, but downgrade to sms )

GG is a battery killer, if you buy a tv turner, is a good idea get one 9v. AC power.

There's an FM tuner as well as the TV and Master Gear adapter. We love ours when there's time and plugs that work on a Nomad work on a a GG.

I have the SMS converter for the GG....I like it alot.

I do too, as I've never seen a working Master System (except back in the day, I saw one) The MAster Ger for GG is actually the way I've played all my Master System games. To bad it has no card slot.

Well, it's easy enough to feed the Game Gear's appetite with half a dozen NiMH batteries and a halfway decent charger for them. There's no reason the 'Gear should be known as a battery killer anymore.

 

I priced both the Master Gear and the TV tuner last year. the TV tuner was roughly $50 on ebay, and the Master Gear was about $20. I've never seen either one outside of pictures.

I'd second those NiMH, they give you what? Four times the Alkaline power? So isntead of 3 hours or so on a charge, you get 10-12 or so? Been a while since I played one.

 

Oh, I was going to say you should get a Master Gear Shadow, but I think many of the games for Master System (that are easily playable) are already ported to the Gear...

I've been keeping my eyes open for a Master Gear in the wild.

A Local Market stall has a few tuners, I intend to get one at some point when my budget allows and a shop starts selling decent batterys for cheap as Battery life of a Game Gear is not too dissimlar to that of a Friut fly

Just Brought the Tv tuner and its kinda cool, I can only get 5 channels If Im lucky. Not bad for £8.50
