The Sega Game Gear is an 8-bit handheld game console that competed with the Nintendo Game Boy & Atari Lynx, but stood on its own with a backlit color display and great accessories. Metal Jesus & Kinsey help beginning Game Gear collectors with the pros and cons of the system, what problems to look out for, modding the screen for better displays, fun accessories, collectable color variants and some games you should buy Day 1.

Years ago I went on a 12 hour road trip with my Game Gear. I was really excited since I had Mortal Kombat and some other choice games. About 90 minutes into the trip all of the batteries that I brought were used up. The rest of that road trip was really lame.

I remember getting my Game Gear when I was a kid for my birthday. We were in a cabin in the mountains and my parents got me 6 Everready Batteries (one with the shithead cat on them). 30 minutes later my Game Gear was dead and I had to wait days to get back to civilization to play the damn thing.

I begged for a game gear specifically for the TV tuner. Back then there wasn't a tv in every room like today so the thought of having my own tv was so cool. I got the game gear but sadly no tv tuner. I only got two games for it as the gameboy was my go to portable.

It was more powerful yes, but the Game Gear had higher resolution and more colors. Most importantly, the Game Gear has better games, although in the Lynx's defense, it's easier to get a full collection for it and there's still some homebrews being made for it while the Game Gear's library is basically done. Overall, both systems have their pros and cons.
@AlexOjideagu2
@AlexOjideagu2 8 жыл бұрын
The Game Gear screen was worse. I owned both. Having better games is subjective not a fact. Many Game Gear and Gameboy games were shovelware garbage. The lynx had quality not quantity. The Lynx has some amazing games not possible on the Game Gear.

Also the actual true "PSP" of that era was the PC Engine GT handheld. Although the Lynx still had superior sprite scaling and 3D power. And then in 1995 the Sega Nomad was the most powerful 1990's handheld with even WORSE battery problems like never seen before.

I loved my Game Gear, still got it with a lot of games. The only thing, the Mega Drive adapter is 10V, and the Game Gear one is 9V, the 10V one burns out the capacitors while the 9V doesnt. Thats one of the reasons the screen loses it brightness

+Luis Badolato Assuming you could find the right voltage, you could 3D print a case that attaches to the underside of the game gear, and uses the screw port on the back to hold it in place and then run a cable to the power plug on top as there is not really an easy way to put one inside the case with the original screen taking up so much space, so you have to dremel out the battery cases to make them flush, and then wire up the correct voltage batteries if you would find some slim enough to fit with the battery covers closed, and wire those batteries to the power port on the top so they could be charged with a proper charging circuit. so yeah the external case is the better option. In fact as a Kid I had an external battery pack by DOCS that did go on the bottom of my GameGear in the same manner.

@@MrCumstein Rechargeable battteries when Game gear was new (early 90´s) was dirt expensive.It was based on lead (environmentally doubtful and physically HEAVY),and they were not the best option for intensive consumption use,like gaming processors,either.Of course,you could load the n:r 1 set of batteries (with power from the car´s cigarette lighter output) at the same time as you played with the n:r 2 set of batteries,and then exchange ém with each other when needed.The problem though,if you played non stop,you would end its capacity cycle in about 2-3 hours.Loading lead batteries from the early 90´s would probably take 4-6 hours,so it still would´nt be a full working solution in the end anyway.But what are we talking about here ?.Why not just buy a CHARGING CABLE to the console itself,and say "F¤¤k y¤u" to the batteries,once and for all ?.Yeah,all console accessories is what makes its manufacturer´s blood sucking parasites.But with a such gaming obsession as mentioned,it´s actually a reasonable decision to take (personally,i like to just relax when i´m a car passenger,and have me a smoke or two if it´s possible.But that´s just me).

It also feels much more intense and "faster" when playing it instead of watching it on a video. I can absolutely recommend this game to everyone who's into Game Gear!

I repair old gaming systems and in particular, I have been focusing on Game Gears recently. At least 90% of the failures or disruptions on the system are related to a batch of bad capacitors that swept the electronics world in general during those years. You can replace the video and audio caps and get nearly 100% performance from them. With that said, the battery packs and AC Adapter are mandatory for long term playability of a Game Gear.

When I was 12 on a family trip to Tenerife we rented a convertible jeep to drive across the mountain range to some other town. I had just bought Mortal Kombat for the Game Gear and I spent about four hours huddled under blankets playing it during the drive. I burned through a ton of batteries but whenever I think of the GG I remember that trip.

The Game Gear was more advanced than the Game Boy in basically every way, but as it turns out tech specs are not everything. The monochrome non-backlit display of the Game Boy ironically worked to its advantage. You could get many hours of gameplay out of it on batteries alone, making it truly portable, and it had good software support, and this is an ethos that Nintendo have largely stuck to ever since - don't get too caught up in being cutting edge and focus on the games. It's worked well enough, for the most part.

Hey MJR! The fact that you found difficult to play Vampire on the Game Gear screen is that some games were poorly ported from Master System to Game Gear, so they were not made to fit on that screen size. Here in Brazil, both Master System and Game gear were a huge success. In 1996 they were still releasing new games here like Street Fighter II' and Baku Baku for example. The Mortal Kombat Trilogy was also ported from Game Gear to Master System and they sold a lot. Anyways, thank you for one more great video!

Ah, big love for the Game Gear. Love Master of Darkness, but Popils was my all time fave - a bizarre, but brilliant puzzle game that went on seemingly forever and which I never completed... 🥰

I want to touch it. Feel the sweet cool of the buttons. Run my hand over the cartridge. Tenderly insert it and gently play the game.

I had a game gear when I was a kid .. got it for my 9th birthday in 1993. It came in a value bundle , with Joe Montana football and Sonic 2. It also included a travel pouch and power adapter .. I loved the power adapter because the game gear was notorious for sucking the life outta battery’s fairly quickly .. I recently got myself an Anbernic RG35XX, and I’ve been going through the game gear library again.. I have to say that my favorite game is still Chakan the Forever Man .. still holds up after all these years and fun as hell!!

I loved this handheld as a kid, spent many hours on it! I loved the tv attachment, I used to stay up late and match tv when I was supposed to be in bed. My favorite game on it was actually Evander Holyfield's boxing.

I remember my friend had one and I had the original Gameboy. It was only really cool when we were at his house, but then again we could just play Genesis or SNES. I was always happy w/ my Gameboy b/c of road trips.

I love the GameGear. It is such an amazing little handheld that was well ahead of it's time. And even today it's still fun to play. Despite how bulky it is, it's actually pretty comfortable to hold.
