Sylvan Tale for Game Gear. I never see it get brought up anywhere, even in the rare occasions there's an actual discussion on Game Gear or a list of hidden gems for the system. I myself even owned a Game Gear as a kid but never heard of this game until way later in the emulation days and I played it all the way through and loved it. Fun little action RPG.

None, thank you. Sylvan Tail on the Game Gear renders them obsolete.

Let's be honest, as much as the Lynx hardware absolutely mogs the GameBoy, it was the dying gasp of a struggling Atari, and was never going to gain the support needed to be a successful console. However, other handhelds that were also vastly superior to the GameBoy were also left to fight Nintendo's monopoly on the handheld market, whereupon they were holding back the technological advancement by about a decade. Nintendo put out terrible hardware and equally underwhelming games for cheap, undercutting the competition, and parents who only cared about the bottom line bought them. It's a shame, as handheld gaming could have been so much better had the Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Wonder Swan seen more support.

The Game Gear, the PSP, the Neo Geo Pocket, the Wonderswan, all completely overshadow any handheld Nintendo ever put out. Highly recommend Sylvan Tale, it is possibly the greatest game on the console.

Sylvan Tale. This game is an incredibly fun, underrated Zelda-like and one of the most graphically impressive Game Gear titles. It looks like an early 16-bit RPG:
