The Game Gear was a very underrated handheld. Know any good games to play for it? What's your favorite Game Gear game? Share your memories.

Where can I find info on the capacitor issues and how to fix it? I'd search but I'm at work right now (ok, I'm just lazy, and maybe anon can point me to the definitive site for information on it.) I've got about 3 GG units that are seemingly dead.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 04:28:35 2015 No.2467514 Fun fact: the GameGear has (far) better battery life that the first iteration of the Nintendo 3DS.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 04:34:45 2015 No.2467519 >>2467514 I can play more than 3 hours with my 3DS

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 04:38:43 2015 No.2467521 >>2466887 Try and get yourself a Majesco GameGear, they have better screens and battery life and no capacitor problems.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 04:40:24 2015 No.2467524 Eh, personally I think the GG was extremely overrated. Really shitty games, the system was only mainstream because of the Sega name.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 07:31:11 2015 No.2467697 >>2467696 Mmmm... Well shit. Is it orgional hardware though?

I absolutely loved Game Gear. It actually just broke like 3 months ago (moment of silence please).

Ristar was not only my favorite game on Game Gear, but one of my favorite platformers of all time.

My favorite memory, was the 30 minute battery life and I bought a plug in battery pack. I remember always searching for an outlet where I went. Good times.
