Classic Game Room HD reviews the SEGA GAME GEAR which was originally released in North America in the year 1990! Handheld gaming has never been less portable but more exciting. The Sega Game Gear eats six AA batteries in two hours but delivers Sega quality video games on a full color screen. Take that black and white Nintendo Game Boy! Color! Even if you need to plug it in to play games lasting more than 2 hours... The Game Gear may show its age with a dim LCD screen and washed out colors, common with older handhelds these days. But an awesome library of collectable games await you for an affordable price. Perhaps you just want to rebuild your collection and relive your youth? Were you playing Game Gear in the hallway while making smart-assed comments as kids with their sad black and white game boys walked by? Did your Game Gear accidentally beat up a rival's Atari Lynx? Yeah, you know it. The Game Gear may not be the handheld of choice now but it was a terrific addition to the Sega hardware catalog and was built to last (as well as it could). This CGR review shows a Sega Game Gear in the video game review and features Game Gear games such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat II. The Sega Gamegear review shows the Sega Game Gear screen, battery compartments and buttons up close. Less

May 22, 2013 - Few things he got wrong here: Sonic on GG is not the same game as the Genesis title, it has some similar elements but it's effectively as different as Mario Land 2 GB from Mario World SNES All the Sonic tiles on GG are unique from the Genesis titles, just ..avoid Sonic Blast at all costs.
The best there is Says:
May 21, 2013 - Not so portable

May 17, 2013 - I remember having a green gameboy with a bunch of game that i carried in a big transparent container that held everything in place like a display. Idk what happened to it and the games.

KCJan123 Says:
May 15, 2013 - LOL the only problem is I live in Slovenia. Only the big shot consoles get released here. We don't even have an N64 :(

May 15, 2013 - I don't get it. If the Nomad eats that much batteries, and it just plays Genesis games, why the hell not just buy a Genesis? "Oh yeah, I'll buy this expensive handheld so I can sit at home with my AC Adapter and play it". A portable that's not portable throws in its own windows.
q13e5 Says:
May 15, 2013 - eh.. if you don't look in your neighbors garbage, you wont get anything for free :P

May 8, 2013 - It looks retro too
Franco Columbu Says:
May 4, 2013 - SEEEEEEEGAAAAAA
James C Says:
May 3, 2013 - The luminance of that blank screen itself brings nostalgia. I can just picture Street of Rage (or whatever that fighting game was) appear on the screen, getting to the second level, then running out of battery. :(
Greg Cooper Says:
Apr 30, 2013 - This sucks
TheHybrid001 Says:
Apr 30, 2013 - Saw one of these in a swap meet a few days ago. Regret not buying it :(
MrSwiftretro Says:
Apr 28, 2013 - I wanna get one!!!!!
joemel2 Says:
Apr 18, 2013 - in the uk I remember there was even an add on that turned your game gear into a mini tv. It had two massive ariels/atenna sticking out.
MrTrancedsailor Says:
Apr 17, 2013 - Or bring a pack of batteries with you ;)
A Ki Says:
Apr 17, 2013 - Yup 86er here so I didn't get on the game gear bus until toward the end of its cycle. Fond memories of 7 hour trips in the minivan that would outlast the batteries. Lol/ Cool system if you could plug into A/C.
MrTrancedsailor Says:
Apr 16, 2013 - I loved Game Gear. I was born in 1984 so I remember it vividly. I had 2 or 3 Sonic games for it. Nowhere near as good as the Genesis Sonics, but they were great for backseat trips in the car.

Apr 15, 2013 - I was 6 years old. Need to feel better than someone else much?
