Rick Dangerous Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Well....what are they? Here are a few of mine: Sonic Triple Trouble: One of the best Sonic Games I've ever played on any system Streets of Rage 2: A brilliant 8 bit port of this game Mortal Kombat 2: Huge characters, super playable, easily (for me) the best handheld port of this classic title Jurassic Park: Great fun driving shooter and run and gun. They nailed it. Fred Couples Golf: I love a good relaxing golf game, and this one complements Fred Couples golf on the 32x nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've sadly never played much of my Game Gear... the screen ghosting on my system makes it entirely too hard to follow anything with notable motion in it (like Sonic games, of course.) I've been wondering lately if this is something a cap replacement can fix... it'd be a good excuse to learn to solder and try my hand at game repair for the first time, since it would be relatively easy to replace if I screw it up.

Rick Dangerous Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Road Rash rocks on the GG! Not quite as speedy as on Genesis but a SOLID port considering the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbone09 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Didn't own many as a kid, but I loved Columns and Dragon Crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Never played one back in it's heyday, but I've been slowly collecting for it over the last 15 years. Of the 39 games I've obtained, the best ones are: Joe Montana Football Land of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat II Poker Face Paul's Solitaire Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya Shinobi Shinobi II: The Silent Fury Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic Chaos Streets of Rage 2 X-Men And some honorable mentions go to: Bram Stoker's Dracula Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Terminator 2: Judgment Day True Lies X-Men: Mojo World Edited December 11, 2015 by Torr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Shinobi II Sonic 2 Vampire: Master of Darkness And probably my favorite GG when I had mine new back in '93 was Defenders of Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria_RPG Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Defenders of Oasis - Fantastic Dragon Warrior clone. Growing up I didn't own too many games for the system, but I played this one constantly. Shining Force: Sword of Haiya - I would have killed to own this back in the day. Still a great addition the series, but having the Sega CD remake renders this version pretty redundant. Star Gate - I've never seen anyone else who liked this game. But it was one of my favorites as a kid. Just a fun not-tetris puzzle game with a strategic twist. I also really wish Royal Stone, Sylvan Tale, and/or Final Conflict had been released in the US. If they had I feel that the Gamegear would have had a much stronger RPG library than the original gameboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Black_Tiger Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 There are lots of great Game Gear games, but my favorite are based on existing series. The Shining Force Gaiden trilogy Wonderboy/Revenge of Drancon MWII Fantasy Zone Gear I haven't finished some of the nicer import-exclusive RPG'ish games, so I don't count them. Otherwise they'd also make the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drixxel Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Lots of cool selections in this thread, it's great to see the Game Gear library get some love! A few months ago I did a pass of the GG catalog and tried to give everything a bit of play, definitely found a number of new favourites. The following five really grabbed my attention: Alien Syndrome - The best home version, IMO, and completely different from the rather mediocre SMS port. Since discovering how good this version is, it's become my go-to Game Gear title. Baku Baku - As much as I love Columns, I find the takes of it on Game Gear to be kinda crummy. Baku Baku has got to be the Game Gear's premier falling block puzzler. Fatal Fury Special - A very impressive effort and the most enjoyable portable 1-on-1 fighting game outside the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Samurai Shodown on GG is also top quality! Galaga '91 - Hard not to have an instant affinity for this one as a big fan of Galaga '88 / '90, this is quite a lovely version of souped-up Galaga. Psychic World - A surprisingly engaging platformer and a little different than the SMS version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Been a while since I've played the GG. Got one for the kids in it's prime. My favorite was Pinball Dreams and the golf games (sucker for that type ). I've had my two recapped but last I checked one has garbled screen graphics. Need to look into that....

JEFF31 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 And as a further thought.... I have a bunch of duplicate carts and instructions that I need to get rid of (Sell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Baku Baku - As much as I love Columns, I find the takes of it on Game Gear to be kinda crummy. Baku Baku has got to be the Game Gear's premier falling block puzzler. this one's okay, but i love the Saturn version. i still suck at it after all these years, trying to set up a mega-epic full-screen combo only to have the computer drop a bunch of crap on it.

chuckwalla Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 All of the Sonics (and Tails games) for the Game Gear Shinobi Land of Illusion Joe Montana Streets of Rage 2 Chuck Rock Halley Wars Road Rash Columns Jurassic Park Cool Spot I'm considering investing in a refurbished Game Gear along with the Everdrive GG. To be able to play Gunstar Heroes, Aleste II, RIstar, and Galaga '91 is enough for me to want it back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm considering investing in a refurbished Game Gear... So am I. I want the game system to hold and load carts into, but I don't want to worry about leaky capacitors and blurry/faded screen of 25 year old electronic innards. As 3 game gears have taught me. I have one that only stay on for 5 minutes at the most if you let it rest for a week, 1 that has no sound, and one that I usually have to flick the power off and on for 30 seconds before it finally stay on long enough to make it to a title screen. Then she's good to go... unless I take a week or so off without playing it... Anyone with a good modded Game Gear looking to make money, PM me. By modded I mean AT LEAST replaced capacitors, but hey, why not go all the way and make sure I get a decent new screen with it, right?

Austin Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The first two Sonic games for me. Wasn't much a fan of the ones that came after, but the first two are really well made games. Played a lot of Columns and Predator 2 back in the day as well. I guess those should be on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Sonic Chaos, especially for the music, in particular for Mecha Green Hill Zone. Super Columns, very relaxing AND you can rotate the columns SIDEWAYS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiqMat Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Baku Baku. Insanely addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFFJR Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I always loved Tails Adventure. Its closer to Metroid than Sonic, but it is a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawesomeBurf Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've only played a few so far, and the definite favorite would be GG Aleste. It may be a tad on the easy side, but the game is still quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Mage man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiqMat Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Mage man! Haha... I was like hunting youtube for this game I had never heard of called Mage Man. It sounded cool. Then I realized your typo. Damnit. Ok. Mage Man needs to happen now. lol Edited March 4, 2016 by LiqMat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplejinzo Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The Game gear is one of my favorite hand held system... My Favorite games for it Arena maze of death Sonic 1 Shining force: Sword of hajya Ninja Gaiden Mega Man Halley Wars And you definitely need one that has good caps to really enjoy the games or better yet with an upgraded LCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snatch1414 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 For me it always begins and ends with Shinobi I & II. I haven't played a ton of GG but you can't beat those two IMO. A personal favorite that no one else will like: Solitaire Poker. I don't even know why someone bought me this game as a kid but I played it way more than I thought.
