Catsmasher Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Depends on what you paid. Nice instant collection, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDragonWarrior Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) That's a decent deal but be weary as Gamegear's aren't the most reliable handheld out there.I have 4 and all three have some sort of problem or another(sound only through headphones, really hard to see screen, won't come on unless the brightness is all the way up or down which makes it useless to play).You got some really good games in there so for 5 Gamegear's, 62 games, Game genie, battery pack, VS cable, magnifier, and Master gear is a decent deal(If you're happy with it then it dosen't matter how much it was) Edited August 1, 2013 by xDragonWarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Nice deal. A lot of problems with the gamegear can be solved by swapping the capacitors for new ones. Done it with 6 systems, only 1 system was really dead. Kept one unit, sold the others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that uTube video discussing that: But I have no idea where to get those parts, etc. Does anyone do the repairs these days? Any links or contact info, would be much appreciated. Out of the 5 units I got, two were blue (one dead, one with rolling lines on screen, but does have sound ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would happily fix them, but shipping would kill it, since i live in europe. Sure some of the members aboard here can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had a local electronic repair shop fix one for about $50 a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's all crap. I'll give you $5 for it so you can have the room for something else. (JK of course, nice collection! I owned one once for about two days, but the "fully tested and working" one I got off eBay had no sound... sent it back.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famicommander Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 That's a nice lot, there are some real classics in that bunch of games. Shinobi II: The Silent Fury is my favorite Game Gear title and one of my favorite games in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Nice get. Ninja gaiden is a good game and slightly scarce. Its pretty different from the nes versions. Shinobi 2 is an awesome action puzzle game one of my favorites. Any ristar is a good ristar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Before his recent health issues, Golden Ax did these repairs. He even has a thread advertising the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I never had game gear. But my friend did. And my moms brothers youngest son had a game gear. But he dropped it and the screen cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Oh dang, that is a seriously awesome haul. You should have a lot of fun with the Lucky Dime Caper, Revenge of Drancon (actually Wonder Boy), Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, Tails Adventure (kind of slow for Sonic, but try to think of it as an action-adventure game like Metroid or Symphony of the Night), and Land of Illusion. I think the Shining Force game is supposed to be excellent too, but it's not really my kind of game. You got any pictures of the Japanese game? If you're really lucky, it could be Ninku Hiroyuki, a clone of Pengo that's better than the actual version of Pengo released by Sega for the Game Gear. Man, now I've got to play some of these on an emulator. It's been a really long time since I've played anything on the Game Gear, since mine has those weird sound issues that so many seem to get. If I opened it, though, I'd want to throw out the fluorescent light and replace it with some white LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well, it's a good thing you got the magnifier as well as the Master Gear, it is really hard to see some elements of games designed for big screens without the magnifier. It is still hard to tell what your score is on some games, even with it. But it is a good setup for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I have a free moment I might crack one of these open and learn more about it. I was hoping someone here would be the go-to-guy and have them do it Being lazy.

akator Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 My recommendation would be to bite the bullet and do it yourself. I've had several repaired from different sources. Not all of the repairs have lasted. The sound worked on one for several months and then quit. Another worked for a year before it started turning itself off after 10 seconds.

I second that if you've got soldering experience. The Gamer Gear itself is worth about $30 but the repair takes a couple of hours. By the time you pay someone for time and parts, you're going to spend more than what the Game Gear is worth. There is a deciding factor, though: If the Game Gear is a special edition or one of the very first ones made, it's worth saving. I typically run mine with a set of hybrid NiMH cells and a quality battery charger. I think I spent all of $25 on that stuff. BTW, cap kits can be found on ebay. I've done a couple of cap kits myself. If you'd like, shoot me a PM and I'll fix yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Note that there are 2 different motherboard revisions, the 1 and the 2 asic version. Most caps are the same but one version needs some more caps and some different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Here it is. Thanx. Hey, that's Coca-Cola Kid! It's a pretty good side-scrolling platformer, even if it's also product placement for a soft drink. You'll have fun with that one. (Shame you couldn't get the red Coca-Cola Game Gear to go along with it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 I've found a few more titles in the lot. Chase H.Q. Ren Hoek and Stimpy - Quest for the Shaven Yak The Simpson's - Bart vs the Space Mutants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
