sirlynxalot Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Wondering if anyone has any sega gamegear recommendations. Here are some lynx games I like, if there is anything in the gamegear library that is similar, I would be interested to investigate. I'm much more into games that are a little obscure and were not long running franchises such as shinobi, sonic, streets of rage, mortal kombat, etc. I know Marble Madness is on GG, and that seems like a must have, and as an Atari arcade title, a game that would have fit in very naturally in the lynx library. I'm also interested in Lemmings on GG since it is a very common and cheap title on GG and I haven't picked it up on lynx yet.Games I like on lynx:-Zarlor Mercenary-Gates of Zendocon-California Games-Roadblasters-Qix-Hard Drivin'-STUN Runner-Chip's Challenge Edited March 24, 2016 by sirlynxalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Galaga 91 is one I have been searching for. Looks great and only on Game Gear as far as I can tell. From this game play it looks different from Galaga 88 in the arcade. More like a mish-mash of Galaga 88 and original Galaga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN7xDTaBBF8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I too have thought along these lines in the past. A tough one to suddenly come up with as the GG library is so big so I'll have a think. For now I'll say that blue lightning could be compared to G Loc, you could try halley wars and did you know there is a recently released downloadable rom for lemmings 2 on GG. There is a thread here where I attempted to encourage a release of this on lynx but to no avail yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_afternoon Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) GG Road Rash is somehow my perceived equivalent to Road Riot (4WD). Also definitely check out the GG cart of Super Off Road Other than that, well, i love the GG "Mappy", this would have been great on the Lynx as well i think. (Marble Madness does exist on the Lynx, but only as a homebrew few level demo on the S.I.M.I.S. card.) http://www.monlynx.de/lynx/simis/index.html, as one of the # "5. Specials" ) Edited March 24, 2016 by Atari_afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdog360 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like the game gear and all (since I work on a lot of them now), but after getting a Nomad... it just doesn't seem to make sense to have a GG. The Nomad has such a better library of games, being a genesis and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nomad has such a better library of games, being a genesis and all. Two different systems with different characteristics. I never lost love for GG when I got my Nomad. Particularly as storage of the megadrive carts was bad in the portable sence. Same problem with the supaboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my fav. game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Get Everdrive for the GG at least. Some of the nicier games can be a tad expensive. A few good games and it'd cost more than EDGG. Plus EDGG can play SMS games without adapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I used to love Monster World II/Wonderboy:Dragons Trap FTW and Prince Of Persia on Game Gear, not sure IF they are your sort of thing? Super Space Invaders/Predator II/Super Golf/Arena any good as something a little off the more familar G.G track?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
