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.

Sonic Spinball
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.
The Lion King crushed my dreams as a child. Game Gear, SNES, didn’t matter my little brain was done after the first level.
I made it past the first level once or twice as a kid, but that game was un-fun hard.
Because it gets stupid hard real fast. Even if you somehow make out the monkey puzzle on the 2nd level, the pinpoint jump, double jump situation at the end crushes whatever excitement you have. That level is harder than the final boss.
I kept hearing it was a “hidden gem”, but was honestly kind of disappointed with it. The music is great and the game is okay, but I think every other Disney licensed game I’ve tracked down so far for the Game Gear is better than the Lion King.
Aladdin is a better game. I think the difficulty spike on Lion King makes it a gem for a lot of people. I just can’t wait to be king was life changing and one the most satisfying things to beat.
Agreed. Aladdin was a lot of fun to get through!
I made it through a decent amount of Lion King, but I’ve never beaten it.
I’ve beaten it 1 time. I got super dedicated , was determined to beat it and did. This conversation is making me want to revisit it and give it another run.
Is Aladdin for game gear the same as for Genesis? I just got my game gear adapter for my Pocket and I’m looking for good games to get, and that one is pretty cheap locally. I loved the genesis version but have long since lost my genesis, so it would be cool to play it again if so!
Not the same as the Genesis version (IIRC), but I believe the Master System’s game is the same as this Game Gear version.
Still a fun little platformer if you are seeing it for cheap somewhere.

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.
Hmm that does sound pretty awesome, great choice!! I think I’m gonna see if I can find that one, you’ve intrigued me!
NBA Jam is the stuff! I played the heck out of it on SNES. He’s on fire! From downtown!
Sonic Triple Trouble is absolute gold.
It’s great! So is Chaos.
Weirdly though, my favorite is still the first one.
Sonic 2 on the GG is absolute garbage.

why not alphabetically sorted
It’s more fun to randomly browse through a mess of carts to find something to play. For me anyway 🤷🏻
