    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 ).

    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.

    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

      the special moves were so fun to pull off and they had a really satisfying noise when you hit enemies, sounded like digital bones cracking.

      Agreed I struggle to choose between the gameboy, Game Gear and Atari Lynx at the time and got a game gear Christmas of 1991 I ever looked back yes the gameboy has better battery life and a lot more titles but the game gear will always have a special place in my heart…… playing shinobi 🥷 while watching jet on gladitiors on a Saturday night come on which teenage boy didn’t have a think for Jet 😂😂

  • @Reshyrah
    @Reshyrah 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

  • @xalba5245
    @xalba5245 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    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.

    • @RetroGamingLangers

  • @mellowdude5476

  • @diegog1853
    @diegog1853 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @JimHarrisonFilm
    @JimHarrisonFilm 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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.

    • @obiiWan7

      @feiwong3634 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I still have it since childhood, I LOVE Popils, one of the best puzzle games I've played. I spent like thousands of hours on it, and creating stages was addicting as hell.
      Fun Fact about it: it was made by Bubble Bobble creator.

      i'm not a h u g e fan of the game, because while, yes, it's very technically impressive, the gameplay is lacking and the homing shots just straight up one-shots anything you aim at

    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.

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Both games are good but the movie adaptation didn't require the unlocking of Tommy because he was already available by default in the main story

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @matt sort of. especially since the game is basically the same as the regular MMPR game

    • @figment1988
      @figment1988 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @matt the first part of the game is based on Season 2 when Lord Zedd took over as the villain, while the last few stages are adapted from the movie.

    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

    @user-pv9pv4xf9c 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

    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.
