Top Ten Must Have Game Gear Games 

Things you miss: Defenders of Oasis ( RPG, Round Based Fight, very niche Story ), AxeBattler ( Style of Zelda II Adventure, very well made ). Crystal Warriors ( Round Based Strategic Fight System, very nice made ).

I love the Game Gear...

I loved playing Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya at night with headphones in. I know I gotta be up for school in 3 hours, but screw it.

Some of the graphics are amazing for a handheld of the time.

I don't know if puting some of the most expensive japanese imports as must have is really fair, since most game gear collectors can't have them and might be a long time to get them when they start collecting. To me what separates a must have list from a best games list is that the former is more akin to what every collector should realistically have in their game gear collection, they MUST have these games. There are a ton of 5 dollar GG games that I think everyone should have or search for. Cool list regardless.

This list is fantastic! You've really done your homework! I always go crazy that people talk about SMS ports on the Game Gear and not the more original games like the FANTASTIC Power Strike 2...and there it was, the first game! Love it.

Solid list! I agree very much. But I would say that although Sonic Chaos looks definitively better, the first GG Sonic is the best designed and balanced Sonic game ever made by Sega. A masterpiece.

I still love all the Shining Force games. I wish SF3 would get a localised Steam release

I love playing those power ranger game gear games, so easy to pick up and play. It's like a fighting game with some beat em up elements

I can definitely appreciate the time that went into making this video but there is one glaring omission here and it's RoboCop vs The Terminator. This Sega Game Gear port is hands down my favorite version. The graphics mimic those found on Genesis, the music is distinct and memorable.. even the occasional voice sample makes it into the game. Packed with 15 levels full of secret areas, hidden lives and weapons.. this is one game I always come back to. Seriously, it should have made this list.

Did anyone ever play Popils? It was an incredible puzzle game, but I never see it it any best of lists. It was also one of the only Game Gear games to have battery-backup enabled saving.

I feel like the exclusive tails games and battletoads would make the list.

Nice list, and a strong line up of games shows just how good the Game Gear was as a Hand Held Games machine.

There are a lot of great games for GG. Road Rash, Jurassic Park, Batman Returns, Lemmings and some others are also worth playing.

Thank you for adding Panzer Dragoon mini! It is missing from most Game Gear top game lists.

Batman Returns belongs on this list, considering its more forgiving than its Master System counterpart and plays insanely well for a port.

Great list. But you missed one important game in my opinion. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I'm not kidding you. That game is a freaking masterpiece. So many cool moves and a solid cast of Power Ranger choice. Everyone plays slightly different and your Zords really help bring the action to life. I highly recommend Power Rangers on the Game Gear.

I still have my game gear though it probably doesn't work but loved it! Especially loved the Sonic and Shinobi games that came out for it

5:17 holy had a version of this on a blackberry pearl in 2005/6ish. Just like it. WILD

Sailor Moon was by far my favourite platformer in this system; my sister's was Woody Pop

The crazy thing about this is a Game Gear is Just a Game Boy Advance if Sega had just develop the technology more to use less batteries Sega would be living in a completely different situation

Gamegear was ahead of its time. If i remember it was like 180-200 dollars which was alot back then.

I love the content That Video Games Show! Keep it up!

Good list but also need a Bundle of Double AA Batteries for GG because it is also Battery Drain machine.

I just found a Game Gear recently but it needs to be recapped. Can’t wait to fix it and start my collection.

I sold my game gear that was used for 80$ on eBay, I bought it brand new at Toys R us because it had color and the game boy didn’t, didn’t know how much better the graphics were until i played it.... everyone at school had a game boy though lol 😂 I think I was the only one with a game gear.... when the kid got the gamegear in the mail (one of my prized possessions since a child) / should have kept it ... he was so happy wrote the best review lol, I think I threw in miss Pac-Man, sonic 2, and taz goes to mars

I wish there would be a game gear 2 not the micro

very great games of list, but I missed some really good ones like Asterix,Psychic World, Aladdin, Master of Darkness, Devilish, Mortal Kombat II, Ristar, Dynamite Headdy and Wonderboy. It is an incredible handheld that I still enjoy a lot in my free time.

great video. my childhood !

I can’t believe these graphics are from games on a handheld in the mid 90s

Don’t know how I missed this video but damn! What a great collection of games for the game gear!!

I agree that as someone who's been gaming since the NES, and has a pretty big retro game collection, IMO the Shining Force series is the number one hidden-gem franchise. TBH most older games do not hold up with what we have today. Nostalgia is a powerful drug that tricks our perceptions, but the Shining Force series produced some amazing turn based strategy games for any Fire Emblem fans out there looking to expand their horizons.

What is the intro music and outro music. I feel like I heard the intro music before, maybe Elevator Action?

Defenders of Oasis!

My favorite game gear game is actually a sports game, Evander Holyfield boxing. Awesome game!

I had FF Special, it makes me very happy to see it here.

Chaos over Tripple Trouble? To each their own I guess

Really enjoyed this video. I wanted a Gamegear when I was a kid, but never got one.

One time I was playing, sonic 3 maybe? on my game gear on the way to the family cabin and I got to the final boss fight and the batteries died! I was sooo pissed off that I never played that game again lol

Great video

Excellent list

Nice one, very informative. I don't know that much about the Game Gear and been looking to play some more stuff in the near future, so saved your video for reference :-)

What is the awesome game music I hear 16secs in the video

The best game on GG was Phantasy Star. Once you got the master system converter LOL. I played that game to death and probably beat it 3x. Man those enemy graphics were AMAZING. I am truly sad that Road Rash did not make this list. I played that so much on GG.

Most of the games on the list aren't on the virtual console for 3ds. Makes me think that sega/Nintendo should've pushed it more 😅 Love the game gear shining force game, have that on my 3ds

Just bought myself a modded game gear with the mcwill screen, had no idea woody pop was an breakout clone so just ordered it, devilish is another good game in the genre

the gg has such good graphics. nintendo 8bit and gg 8bit are a true diffrence. gg almost looks like 16bit compared to nes.

Half of these games weren’t even released in America

What is the closing music at the end of the video?

Awesome !! Just got my GG recapped. I have about 50 games for it.

They could have make Shinobi II: Silent of Fury in Mega Drive too. I know I usually like the Shinobi series in a long time but I think it should've belong here. On the Mega Drive, they had The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3, these only 2 games in this system.

i never really played the game gear but i played the saturn version of Panzer dragon on the music is so good.

Tails sky patrol. Japanese exclusive and obscure, is maybe the shoot em up game for the gg

Devilish was the best game made for the game gear, extremely underrated.

Great vid dude! Love the game gear! Nice pick with Woody Pop, used to love that game back in the day, so fun to play, Shinobi 2 is awesome too! Will have to check out Panzer Dragoon Mini, heard of it before but never checked it out :)

A like your list, but there are a vary good game miss: Power Rangers mighty morphin, X-Men Legacy, Terminator, mk2, Sonic triple trouble, dragon Crystal, psichico world, ristar,tails Adventure, both Asterix. Fatal Fury Is on my top 10. Year After year i bought around 60-80 games for my GG. Ooh almost forget out run

Excelent choice of games! Maybe the battery life is a big problem, but the game catalog Is beautifull.

Excellent list, never heard of panzer dragoon mini.

8:26 Why the hell did you name your character "goronsex"?! 😂😂😂

Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict ❤

Excellent selection you only missed Sylvant Tale

Does anyone know the name of the name and/or artist of the song played at the end in 9:09?

I loved my game gear but my parents hated my battery needs. They didn't believe me how awful it was on power.

There's a fan remake of sonic chaos

whats the song at the end of the video ?????

The game gear could have probably done a lot better if the battery life was better

What's the outro music

What song is the outro from? :)

Never heard of Sonic Choas!

I love sonic triple trouble and game gear

yess shining force shout out the best

Decent list that

Um nice collection

Always love your taste!

What’s the song in the outro?

6:00 did you say mini mouse. In any case good vid

super monaco gp 2 and terminator 2 is good to

I LOVE Game Gear. Happy 2021

I have every game

I love game gear the best

Got my game gear with sonic1, sor2, and shinobi 2 plus the charger for 50 bucks. Gotts love the facebook marketplace.

Good picks, James. I never got on with Panzer Dragoon Mini personally.

Lol the story isn't going to receive any rewards

Panzer dragoon was pretty bad tbh. All the others are great games

Samurai showdown was a better fighting game.

No Sylvan Tale? Space Harrier? Triple Trouble? This list is a fail. Seek the games made exclusively for GG; Japanese GG games are amazing.

Panzer Dragoon???? Look at the screen. It's the most basic game ever.

I can tell u which game u dont want and thats echo the dolphin.
