Top 20 Game Gear Games
I don't own enough to make any judgments.
"Sucking on the Marrow of life does not mean you have to choke on the bone"-Dead Poets Society screenplay
My personal favorites would have to be these 4:
1. Jurassic Park 1
2. Psychic Force
3. Revenge of Drancon
4. Dragon Crystal
I loved the gameplay for the GG Jurassic Park than any of the other ones for Genesis and Super Nes, although Ocean's Jurassic Park SNES game is spectacular.
"The President has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are YOU bad enough to save him?"
Game Gear has more sucktacular games than most systems, so research them carefully before buying (unless you're just looking to rack up collection numbers of course!). There are only two games I can enthusiastically recommend:
Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya (my favorite handheld RPG)
Pengo - a great arcade translation
Other than that, you're on your own....oh, one more thing, avoid GG Smash TV like the plague!
Rich
Tomorrow's Past is Yesterday's Future Today!
I can't believe no one has mentioned Sonic.
I love that game!
Pengo!!!
Also, the GG version of Bakku Bakku is quite nice.
Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.
Sonic Drift 2 manages to hold my attention for awhile. Fun racing game ala Mario Kart.
Aleste 1 and 2 (aka Power Strike) are both excellent shooters, and probably the best of their kind on any handheld.
Hey, I thought I was the only one who liked Psychic World!
I just realized that my sister would never forgive me if I didn't mention Crystal Warriors, a rather good strategy/RPG that she was quite fond of.
As for regular RPGs, Defenders of Oasis and Phantasy Star Gaiden aren't bad, though the latter's only available in English via a translated ROM.
man, Kid Fenris...I love Psychic World.
It was one of the first GG games my mom bought me.
I love the storyline and gameplay and I feel like playing it RIGHT NOW...
"The President has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are YOU bad enough to save him?"
Shinobi,Pengo(I love that little game)and all the Sonics. :/
Fantasy Zone, Aladdin and Gunstar Heroes! Good luck finding that last one!
Wasn't that only for Genesis?Or am I wrong?Originally Posted by Tetsu

FANTASY ZONE????!!!!
Now, I love Fantasy Zone 1 and 2 on the SMS more than most anyone, but Fantasy Zone Gear is a VERY poor game. The camera dosen't center on the player very well, leaving you travelling full speed against the edge of the screen and right into enemies that you only have a fraction of a second to respond to. Plus the game dosen't have a built in story (like all the other Fantasy Zone's) Opa Opa's Son (the player) is really wide for some reason, and the ending REALLY sucks. As Fantasy Zone fan, I was quite disappointed.
But for some good games, I really enjoyed Woody Pop.
argh, I posted a long reply but my comp timed out before I could post it. but the gist of it was:
@Raccoon Lad: I thought FZ on GG was a blast, the scrolling didn't bother me much, and I played this version before I knew the story modes on the SMS versions existed, so I didn't miss them.
@Six Switch: Gunstar for GG is Japanese only, I had an opportunity to try it out once. It is the same game, with bigger sprites and less onscreen action simultaneously. But it was still pretty cool.
Finally, Alladin for GG follows the movie EXACTLY. Better than the Genesis version, much better than the SNES version. It even has dialogue directly taken from the movie, and in game cinema scenes that help the storyline progress. In short, it's like playing a side-scrolling, 8-bit version of the movie.
That is so cool!It is my fav Genesis game and now I must own it!
That version got ported to the Master System too in Brazil...I don't know of anyone who owns it though.

Though lame as a mega man game, the Mega Man for game gear was actually a good GG game.

Do game gears require a mod chip or anything?
@WiseSalesman: Dunno if Game Gears require mod chips...for what? Playing games from other regions? Dunno, prolly not, since no other system short of the Turbo Express does.
@Six Switch: Act fast! Only 22 hour left!!

I thought Virtua Fighter Animation, Shining Force, and Defenders of Oasis were pretty good
You Ask: What Do You Play? And I Say: What Do You Got!
SHAPES AND COLUMNS
SONIC
SHINOBI
ALADDIN
PENGO
The best GG games i think
I would have to go with Dragon Crystal.
I love games
I happened to pick up Shinobi and Chakan today. Haven't spent much time with either but from what I saw they both looked good. Especially Shinobi. I expected it to look/feel like the SMS Shinobi (which I like) but to my suprise it looked way better. Wish I could play that one on my SMS.
