Years ago I inherited my wife’s family’s Game Gear. After a recap, and replacing the backlight, I started tracking down games to play on it. It’s been great exploring a whole library of games that I skipped out on as a kid! (I was a Nintendo kid) Now I have a nice little library of carts to play on this beast of a 90’s handheld.
threaded - newest
why not alphabetically sorted
It’s more fun to randomly browse through a mess of carts to find something to play. For me anyway 🤷🏻
Sonic 2 was STUPID difficult compared to the other Game Gear Sanic games.
Dynamite Headdy was stellar for its time, too.
Dynamite Heady has been on my list, still need to track down a copy!
Glad to know it wasn’t just me. The extremely tight screen space did not help things
The first boss with the balls was like HOW ARE YOU LIKE WHY STOP
I think it’s the 4th zone, the 3rd area involves a bunch of spring jumps into the void just to get to the boss. No clue why I spent the time to memorize that level, but I did.
NBA Jam is the stuff! I played the heck out of it on SNES. He’s on fire! From downtown!
Oh god, I'm so fucking sorry. Do you have like a donation page for your therapy bills or something.
It's not a bad game, it's just that it's full of insta-death, has no pause or save features, and there is no Continue screen should you fail. If we stopped because we were being called to dinner, it meant having to play....the whole....game....again....all the way from the start. Proudly, we did eventually beat it, but mother of fuck
🤣
It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever played, but yeah… Sonic Spinball is a mess! Lol
Not something I’ll ever actually try to beat, but interesting to mess with when I have some time to kill.
Fortunately the Genesis version doesn’t have any of those issues (aside from the first stage, ironically enough, there’s only one insta-death place in each of the other stages), though it is weird that the portable version doesn’t have a pause or save function.
Mighty morphin power rangers was the first video game I ever beat, I was so proud of myself!
They’re surprisingly good games on here!
If you had to pick one, which would you highlight and why?
😬 Wasn’t prepared for that question, not sure I can pick only one.
I can say that lately I’ve been focused on Woody Pop. Slowly but surely getting the hang of that one. It’s a pretty interesting breakout/arkanoid where you are fighting your way through a toy shop. Every time you clear a room, you get a choice of which door to go through (and therefore) which room to tackle next.
There are power ups to collect, each room’s bricks seem to depict a different toy, and there’s unlimited continues. It’s a pretty simple but solid game.
