So I've got a SEGA Game Gear and I don't have many games for it (not that many good games anyway) and was wondering which are the best games for the system? I'm planning on getting the Sonic games for it (and some more I think look interesting) but other than that I don't know which games are the best. Could anyone help me out?

There really aren't that many good games on the Game Gear. The biggest problem with many of the side-scrolling games that would be good is that the screen is too small, and the programmers don't fix their games to fit it. For example, if you go fast in a Sonic game, you know like you're supposed to do in Sonic games, you run into enemies that you don't have have time to react to because the screen doesn't scroll fast enough. It's infuriating! But for what it is, these are the best game I've run across: -Columns (Dr. Mario like puzzle game) -Ristar -Shinobi II -Sonic Chaos -Sonic in Triple Trouble -Spider-Man

Star Wars for the Game Gear is decent, as is World Series Baseball, Mortal Kombat, and Super Off-Road.

Star Wars for Game Gear is terrible. It's barely playable! Who wants to play as Princess Leia even if it was good?

I dunno, I thought it was OK. Its hard, kinda cheap, but not too unlike the Super Star Wars games for SNES.

But from what I've played out of what he mentioned, those games are pretty good. He's a retro game expert.

still, it's kind of hard to recommend a JRPG when it hasn't been released outside Japan, meaning it's completly in Japanese

Yep. People can rave all they want about Japanese games, but what good are they if you can't read Japanese?

Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Batman Forever, and some platformer about bears that are flying a plane on the cover which I can't remember the names of. Those were the only Game Gear games I had :P (passed down from a relative a long time ago)

Never was a huge fan of the Game Gear compared to other consoles, but somehow, I've always got stuck with it. When I was a little kid, I was dumb enough to ask for it instead of a genesis because I thought I would be cooler portable. Now, I got Sonic Adventure DX for the PC and I'm like dang -- this comes with 12 game gear games; lets check them out.

.

So Game Gear is like is like the evil stepchild game system that I always get stuck with.

.

Anyways, the best games I've played for the GG are:

- Mortal Kombat (Almost as good as the arcade: A real rarity in quality for the GG)

- Sonic 1, 2, Chaos, and Tripple.

- Mean Bean Machine (Poor graphics, but truely unique and challenging Tetris-Like gameplay)

- Columns (I only played the Genesis version of this Tetris-Like game, but I am sure it's good for the GG)

.
