one of the best handeld of the 90s

Battery eater

>>9422314
A power supply was basically essential with how quickly it'd eat through 6 AA batteries

>library is mostly Master System ports with screen crunch
>barely portable because of battery consumption rates (stupid florescent bulb)
It's alright.

I give it 6 AA batteries out of 10

Better than the Master System.

Coveted by every child alive, Duracell, and Energizer at the time of its release.

>>9422314
I was the lone Game Gear kid in my friend group. No regrets at all since I ended up getting a GBC anyway.

Mushy muttons and a vaseline screen ruin it.

>>9422392
gbc are kinda gay

>>9422401
How so? Superior in every way to the original Game Boy and launched alongside Pokemania in the USA.

>>9422405
Basically nothing that justifies its existence, regression in some ways.

>>9422405
faggy games and still no backlight. also very unconfortable to hold

>>9422324
6 modern day batteries last over 10 hours on a Game Gear today. Fun fact.

this is the best GameGear game and it's a port

what are the good games for it? The only one I know of is that one Tails game

>>9422509
Xmen and Ristar

>>9422405
It is good. I do enjoy that it exists but also do agree that its unnecessary in the first place. I also prefer original DMG GB (also with shaders) but like different flavors of GB.

>>9422509
road rash, halley wars, ecco, shinobi, sonic drift

>>9422314
As a kid I loved it because of the graphics and the fact you could PLAY IT IN THE FUCKING DARK OR IN BRIGHT LIGHTS without a ridiculous mirror light unlike Gameboy

handful of good games but pales in comparison to the gameboy

>>9422314
This was a better concept and honestly I didn't even know it existed until recently. Letting you use your Genesis cartridges was a really good idea.

>>9422592
no

>>9422650
I agree GB has better library, but game gear felt futuristic as fuck and made gb look cringe. SEGA really was chad.

>>9422672
idk if gb has a better library, gb games are kinda boring, like atari 2600 games, dont get me wrong some atari 2600 games are fun but its like, 10 games in the whole library. people tend to say gb has better games just bc they dont know the gg library

>>9422335
barely an couple of hours with those cheap rechargeable batteries

>>9422679
bruh dk94 had to be like one of the best games I've ever played. The right level of charm, soul, and innovation.

>>9422713
idk if its bait but , it kinda looks like shit ngl. and I can't even imagine irl, with no light. just play cool spot on the gg, its better

>>9422726
what no try it out, it's cool as fuck. It opens up like some DK clone, but becomes way more than original DK. Charming as fuck. During the working man's mario era.

My grandpa was a tech junkie, like bought a laser disk player day 1. He bought me and my brother each a game gear. It was dope. My dad bought a rechargeable battery set up after he realized what grandpa had unleashed on his wallet by giving us not one but 2 of them.

>>9422739
ok ill try it out

>>that screencrunch

The GameGear has the same screen resolution as the GameBoy and GameBoy Color. 160×144.

Spites are the same size on the GameBoy version of Cool Spot: https://youtu.be/NMlteAsnkjc?t=21

>>>9422314 (OP)
>This was a better concept and honestly I didn't even know it existed until recently. Letting you use your Genesis cartridges was a really good idea.

The GameGear is backwards compatible with the Master System, and Sega did release a 'Master Gear Converter' for the Game gear that allowed you to play SMS game carts on the system. NEC had the Turbo Express, which was just a portable TurboGrafx-16 / PCE. The Nomad only came out in North America. It was never released in any other region. It came out in 1995, and Sega had the Saturn on the market, and the Playstation 1 was brand new. The Nomad slipped by with little fanfare.

>>9422741
That's cool.
The GBA SP was a godsend with the rechargeable battery.
No more having to beg for batteries.

>>9422624
>Letting you use your Genesis cartridges was a really good idea.
Had the same problem as the GG. Thing ate batteries like no other.

t. actually bought one new

>>9422314
Many great memories in the 90’s. But no need to revisit them.

>>9422314
worth picking up
especially if you loved the master system

>hurr durr muh batteries
its called rechargeables
>hurr durr muh screen
OEM screen is still serviceable but
the mcwill mod looks great and has settings to replicate the original aspect ratio\filters
>hurr durr it has no gaems
yes it fucking does
maybe even more than the GBC if you ignore pokemon
>hurr durr it way too big lol
only chads carry a gamegear in the bag & work

>The GameGear has the same screen resolution as the GameBoy and GameBoy Color. 160×144.

here's a nice comparison of the handheld ports of Earthworm Jim:
https://youtu.be/C1EzxrsHMYA?t=74

Both games run at the same resolution. Though, the GameBoy version has a higher resolution HUD than the GameGear port.

The Game Gear could compete with the GameBoy pretty easily on a graphical and audio level. In some ways, looking better than the GameBoy counterparts. Though, there were cases when the GameBoy game might have played smoother. the big selling point Sega had with the GameGear was the colour backlit screen. Which came at a cost of battery life. The price of the GameGear was usually $25-$50 more than the GameBoy at any given time. The OG GameBoy was the cheapest handheld to purchase, it had the best battery life. And was cheaper on batteries. Game cartridges for both systems were priced about the same. somewhere around $29.99 to $39.99 per game. Sometimes to make the GameGear look more enticing, Sega would also bundle the system with multiple games, to compensate for the higher price. It was generally Sonic 1/ Sonic 2, Columns and a Sports game, that were the pack-ins.

>>9422847
>>9422884
the gg doesnt have any resolution bc the screen doesnt have pixels unlike the gb.
thats why you can watch the fucking tv in it

>>9422314
I wish Sega would release the schematics to everything(chips included), because the capacitors are killing these things like there's two people left on the planet.

>>9422314
Terrible as a handheld because it would devour batteries. One of the major reasons for handhelds was so you could play them on car trips as a kid. But, its library basically being Sega games was pretty cool.

>>9422967
>the gg doesnt have any resolution bc the screen doesnt have pixels unlike the gb.
>thats why you can watch the fucking tv in it

The GameGear wasn't the only handheld with a TV tuner. The NEC TurboExpress had one too.

>>9422967
>the gg doesnt have any resolution bc the screen doesnt have pixels unlike the gb.
It uses an LCD. There are pixels. They're non-square, but cry all you want, the LCD has 320x240* maximum resolution.

* Based on a replacement screen found. There's a chance that infact the screen's smaller. I know the output resolution is only 160x144.

>>9422987
Okay but the comparison was with the Gameboy.

Few years before Nintendo actually released a GameBoy Color, they had the Play it Loud series of GameBoy's, which were just different colored units. They had commercials like this:
https://youtu.be/yc0tWn_pzJ4?t=6

Sega of America's response:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAsluNVIXL0

>>9422994
and managed to look better than the gb

>>9422473
That wasn’t fun.

>>9422847
Gameboy had more original titles that didn't have screencrunch. Game Gear was mostly ports so the screencrunch was a major issue.

>>9422346
no

>>9422994

The Game Gear is based on the Master System and could do various screen resolutions. Sega released the Master System converter and the TV Tuner as well. Castle of Illusion on the Game Gear was a ROM dump of the Master System game, with what appears to be some colour pallet edits. The Game Gear version runs at the same screen resolution as the Master System game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6AqJDVqcGA

Here's Sonic the Hedgehog 1, which is screen cropped down to 160x144. The Game Gear version also has some graphical changes. Sonic's sprite looks different, there are road signs added to the maps, to tell the player about hazards to help with the screen crunch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oYHv6doMKg

>>9423042
>no

There isn't a single thing that the Sega Master System can do better than the Game Gear. They are basically equal, with the distinction that the Game Gear has a larger colour palette. Outside of adding an FM synth module (Japanese version). It is a portable SMS:

https://youtu.be/ps2Fdfs0lJM?t=22

>>9422335
yeah this was mandatory. i never took the game gear anywhere. i only played it at home on this. in hindsight it wasnt worth buying but i had fun with it

>>9423086

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6AqJDVqcGA [Embed]

I never owned a Master System, but had one in my possession for almost a year. One of the games I had for it was Castle of Illusion in the box with the manuals. I completed the game on a Master System II with a Sega Genesis pad. I think it is one of the best platformers on the system. I don't think it's overall better than the Genesis game. But it is a really good 8bit platformer. I owned a Game Gear, with Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. I think I saw the box for Castle of Illusion at stores, and I swear I remember this commercial for it on TV:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bla6XYW9AT8
I would have never guessed that it was the exact same game as the Master System version. Watching that comparison, it looks like the GameGear version looks like a ROM hack of the Master System game. They made some changes to the sprites, the GameGear actually seems to use a slightly enhanced pallete with the extra tones in a few spots. Image related shows different tiles used for the platforms. But it is the Master System game.

>>9422314

That portable PC Engine, whatever it was called > Lynx > Game Gear > Gameboy Original

No joke, as someone who owned Sonic 2 for the Game gear. This fucking boss filtered me as a kid for months. It almost felt like a total fluke when I did, as well. The hanglider stages were also filtering... until you learn how to use the hanglider. But every other stage is smooth sailing. I always liked Sonic 2 8-bit. The first couple stages were a headache.

>>9423297
Also, really liked the soundtrack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGde4z9FVoU&list=PLvNp0Boas7234AOsaS0vm3HVnBBLDahCK&index=4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63f4Bk_wvY&list=PLvNp0Boas7234AOsaS0vm3HVnBBLDahCK&index=6

>>9423297
That boss is such complete bullshit. Even to this day it's a coinflip if I'm gonna beat it.

I took a photo of my own GameGear. It does power on and work with the AC. But the screen seems to be fucked up. The viewing angle is messed up. This is not a Majesco unit.

>>9423297
>This fucking boss filtered me as a kid for months.
It filtered me as an adult.

>>9423486
>>>9423297 (You)
>>This fucking boss filtered me as a kid for months.
>It filtered me as an adult.

This is the game that made me beg my parents for an AC cable. Because, I would make it to that boss... and maybe 1 in every 5 tries, get passed it. Make it to the hang-glider stage. Die, and then watch my batteries die. I don't think the Hang Glider stages are hard, once you know how to use the hang glider. It controls like Mario's cape in SMW, but more limited. But, it was the trial and error that would drive me insane. Oddly, I replayed that stage on an emulator and had less issues. But would still be like a high chance of fucking up.

The GameGear was a pretty good competitor to the GameBoy, for its time. But overall, the GameBoy just kept on selling. By 1995, te original GameBoy was like $49.99-$75.99 somewhere between there. It was really cheap. The Super GameBoy helped it. Pokemon. Sega killed the GameGear in 1996. For a brief while between 1991 - 1994. I think the original GameBoy had a release of 520 games here in North America, while the GBC added a few hundred more. The Game Gear had about 220 or something. The system has a mix of downgraded Genesis/ Mega Drive ports, Master System ports, or Master System cross platform games and a few Game Gear originals. technically, it's the Master System hardware with an enhanced 4096 colour pallet. Devs were still finding ways to get the most out of Sega's 8-bit hardware.

>>9422408
Disagree, the Zelder and Pokeyman alone are well worth it. Lack of a lit screen is kinda bothersome, but you just needed the right lighting conditions.

Columns, Mega Man, Sonic, Ristar.

>>9422337
I had one of those Master System converters, I found a MS and some games at a garage sale when I was 8 and pestered my parents to buy me one of those after I saw it in SEGA Visions.
They also bought me a Power Base Converter. I love my parents.

>>9423297

I loved it as a kid but it goddamn it ate batteries, I bought one on used market years after they stop making them as a kid at a game store back in the 00's. I remember lot of games at the time where dirt cheap.

>>9423231
The Turbo Express was one of those mythical handhelds that I’ve never seen in person. One kid at my school had a Lynx, I was the only one with a Game Gear and everyone else had a Game Boy.

zelda could have been done on gb hardware, pokemon sucks and was never good, and the zelda games would be better as gba launch titles to tie over fags who need to buy two copies of a simultaneous launch game (pokefucks) and decent people. both oracle games are mid-tier.

>>9423889
>These are Game Gear games using Master System mode. Making a home brew Game gear game must be like making a Master System game,

I am pretty sure that making a GameGear game would be basically a SMS game with the screen cropped to 160x144. But the GameGear does have an advanced colour pallette over the SMS, with 4096 colours, compared to the SMS's 64 colour palette. I think a lot of GameGear games are just Master System games screen crunched to 160x144 with enhanced colour pallets. And run about the same as the Master System version. But, there are some games designed for the GameGear specification of 160x144, instead of the standard 256x192 SMS resolution, and could get a bit more resources out of the system. The Gamegear version of Streets of Rage is not the same game as the Master System version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZwuNDXLb28

The sprites and tiles were remade for the smaller resolution, and the GG version can display more than 2 enemies on screen at once. The GG version has two player via the link cable. The GG colour pallet makes it look closer to the Genesis game.

Same with SOR2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfHDClJQxGQ

Randomly, the GameGear could output some amazing looking colours:

Chakan: The Forever Man was a Genesis/ Mega Drive game that got a GameGear version. The Game Gear version of Chakkan was made specifically for the GameGear hardware. So Chakkan has smaller sprites and was made for the 160x144 screen and doesn't suffer from screen crunch. There are some fan made Master System ports:

>>9423486
>It filtered me as an adult.

I love how misleading the advertising is for the 8-bit Sonic 2 (most notably the GameGear version). It has this heavy emphasis on Tails, including Tails in the title screen. But the opening cinematic in the Game Gear game shows Tails get kidnapped. Tails is never playable in the game. Saving Tails requires you to find all the chaos emeralds.

>>9425919
Those "prestige" Game Gears look kino but fuck my ass those prices are nuts.

>>9425230
Okay. None of those opinions changes the fact that the GBC is literally the GB but better, which was already a much better system than the Game Gear.

>>9428092
The Game Gear is much better than both but okay tendie.

The GameGear doesn't have a lot of exclusives that you wouldn't also find on the Master System in the UK, or something. In North America, Sega killed the Master System in 1991, because the Genesis was hitting its stride. But the Game Gear replaced the Master System as SOA's 8bit machine. Which lead to a lot GG and Master System cross releases. Everytime I think the GameGear game that looks exclusive, I have to double check and see if it wasn't also ported to the Master System, or has a SMS port by TecToy.

Oddly I think Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on the GameGear is pretty good. Based on the TV show license, but the game plays like a belt scroller and fighting game hybrid. Fight off waves of putties, fight a boss 1vs 1. The GameGear game makes really good use of the GameGears extended colour pallet too. I really do prefer the look of GameGear games (cropped screen aside) over the SMS versions, due to the colour enhancement.

game gear games manage to be more fun and impressive than gbc games despite coming out half a decade earlier.

>>9422884
>here's a nice comparison of the handheld ports of Earthworm Jim:
>https://youtu.be/C1EzxrsHMYA?t=74 [Remove]

Earthworm Jim was made as a GameGear and GameBoy game at the same time. The Master System version looks like the GameGear game running at 256 × 192 with a worse looking color pallet. The Master System mostly has primary colours, the GameGear version looks more like the Genesis/ MD game. The GameGear does have nice nice looking 8bit graphics due to its enhanced colours. It could still only display 31 colours max. There was a wider range to choose from.

Meant to post the SMS version, I think the game runs a bit slower because it is running at 256 × 192. Still not bad for an 8bit EWJ;

>>9422314
This >>9422335 mostly. I loved mine when I was in college, many long hours of waiting between classes and boring night jobs were made vastly better because of it. That said, as noted you pretty much always had to have it plugged in, I stopped using batteries very soon. And the screen is awful, especially by today's standards. I took this photo as a prop basically a year or two before I sold mine, but pretty much since the PSP came out and was hacked for Genesis games easy on the go I never used it. I wonder occasionally where my old Nomad now lays, in a box or display shelf. The one thing I know for sure, it's not getting used regularly.

GreenDog is another GameGear exclusive port of the genesis/ mega Drive game. There are GG2MS hacks like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lH5AfM-LKA

But this is one of those GameGear games designed to work within the 160x144 resolution. So, an actual GameGear game.

>>9422314
Eh, it was pretty average
I used it mostly as a portable master system, the problem is how much batteries it used

How did Nintendo beat Sega when the Master System and Game Gear had better graphics than the NES and GB?

X-Men was pretty cool:

>>9428240
>How did Nintendo beat Sega when the Master System and Game Gear had better graphics than the NES and GB?

Nintendo had a pretty good monopoly on third party devs with the NES era. The Master System also came out a few years after the Japanese Famicom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhO6FmeWq88

The Master System is better in some ways, but the NES could still output at a slightly higher resolution, and could do some things better. Games used 4 colour tiles and sprites. The Master System uses colours per layer. The GameGear can output nicer looking colour overall:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdrPKcXjpDY

I will tell you one of my biggest complaints with the GameGear was the lack of Konami, and Capcom was literally: USGold making Capcom licensed games. Konami could have dropped a Turtles game, or Animaniacs.... The GameBoy still had a lot of third party support. Nintendo tried to reignite interest in the GameBoy with the SuperGameBoy, and the Play it Loud series, as well as the Pocket. Pokemon really was a selling point. Helped sell a lot of GBC's.
