Sega Game Gear HIDDEN GEMS! The Best Kept Secrets!

While the Nintendo Switch is the only handheld platform left, back in the day there was a war between the GameBoy and Game Gear. The Sega Game Gear had bunch of hidden gems on it that no one talks about or remembers, so let's talk about some today!

Here in Brazil we enjoyed all of these games without having a GameGear! The Master System was such a successfull console, that Sega adapted GameGear games all the time. 3 Mortal Kombat games were released.

The Game Gear also had a couple really cool Shinobi games, some solid X-Men titles, and literally ALL the best Power Ranger games. I loved this system so much.

One of my favorite games on the Game Gear was something no one I have ever talked to has heard of - James Pond CodeName: Robo Cod II. Loved that game.

My dad bought me a Game Gear with a magnifying screen to make the game look bigger but I never really played it. I wish I still had it now that I play more games.

All the X-men games were great. I loved this system

Is Joe from Game Sack gonna pop up dressed as Metal Jesus Rocks and say, "did somebody say Hidden Gems?"

What I love about Defenders of Oasis is how it's a classic JRPG set in a middle eastern fairy tale world, that's totally for me. My one complaint is that there are no explanations of what each item does so I have no idea what heals and such.

It's also worth noting that the Game Gear isn't region locked, and the different regions had unique game libraries. No matter where you live there is an awesome import library that is actually pretty affordable compared to most systems. Half the fun of collecting from the system is ordering stuff from Japan, Brazil, and the UK for less than most NES collectors pay for their domestic games.

Dragon Crystal was my first RPG style game I've ever played and from there I fell in love with all RPGs

Vampire: Master of Darkness was one of the last Game Gear titles released via 3DS Virtual Console, I did download it.

My first console!!! Got Sonic The Hedgehog, Outrun and Columns. So many good memories!

Love your Switch stuff, but your retro videos were what got me into watching you on YouTube.

I grew up with alot of these for the Master System 😊. Both the Master System and the Game Gear are such underrated consoles. C'mon Sega! How about a Master System Mini!?

Defenders of oasis was honestly amazing. I was lucky enough to have a game gear at the time it was released and that game somehow fell into my hands completely randomly. I could not believe it. Way ahead of its time, cool combat system with initiative (speed) and also spells that you had to find in the actual dungeons for the genie character. Memorable characters, good pacing despite the little grinding required at times, nice twists in the story but more importantly amazingly unique setting. Arabian nights.

Nothing more I could ask for as a kid, even the graphics were pretty bonkers for 92 for a handheld device, hugely influential as it was probably the first pure rpg I ever played. Finished it 3-4 times total or something. Thinking about it, it later led to dnd and a way down the rabbit hole when it comes to rpgs. Great memories. Its criminal how underrated this title is, but on the other hand the game gear was never a huge success as a handheld console, and very few games ever released on it, let alone great ones. Thanks for the nice review and memories.

RGT please keep doing retro vids dude. Also loving that pizza parlor arcade look you got going on with the 1up arcades.

one of my all time favorite games is surf ninjas on game gear and if you remember the movie the kid plays a game gear the entire time and the game he plays becomes the game he's living.
