I know it might be hard to tell by my usual works, but I am as much a SEGA fan as a Nintendo fan.

I was up until mine stopped working. At some point I need to get around to replacing the capacitors and maybe swapping the screen out for a better one.

majesco relaunched the game gear on 2000's and most classic games.. looks quite the same with a few different things , i havnt get one yet

D'awww. Β I want a Majesco GG too, but I hear it doesn't work with some games and accessories.

they say that they fixed most errors of the original GG (the capacitors thing for example), but has no attachment for the master gear (wich i think is harder to find) so, it may worth have one. Β Β they made some cartridges too,Β

Yep, in every way but battery life. Had they perfect that, it would have been the greatest handheld ever.

it was more like 16 bit graphics with 8 bit sound. the sound chip is ok, but not as advanced as the gameboy's

neo geo pocket actually has 16 bit graphics and 8 bit sound . on a monochromatic screen.Β

Indeed. Good thing it had a port for an adapter. But doing that ruins the portability.

yeah, its not relly a good handheld if you have to keep it pluged in.

I actually dislike the Game Gear.
Ah well. Better than the Nomad.

Ah, I felt he Nomad was better, but both were serious battery hogs since they're just scaled down variants of SEGA's consoles.

D8 I keep careful watch over all of my hardware.

i do now but not when i was younger

Ah, that's to be expected of those that are young. The only reason I've been obsessively watching my things forever is because my brothers would destroy them if I didn't.

I liked the gen version cause that one had green ranger and dragonzord..*stupid snes >:{
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. The only SNES MMPR I liked was the fighting game, because it was all about the zords, all of them.

SEGA knew how to do it:
- Background light
- Colours
- When I remember right, 3D like effects in some games.
- And a huge hunger for batteries.
Epic!
But we had Sega systems at home only for a short time.
After the release of the Snes, Nintendo was again the dominating power in our living room.

They certainly did.
My brothers and I were deeply divided during the 16-bit war. So we were lucky enough to have the Genesis and SNES. During that time, it was nothing but a win/win situation regardless of which you owned. I miss those days so much.

I heard that the Game Gear was ok. Or to your opinoin is it relly good?
π: 0 β©: 1
The Game Gear is a fairly powerful system for its time and is essentially a portable version of the Master System. If you have an AC adapter or battery pack, it's worth getting. There was even an official attachment, the Master Gear Converter, that would allow you to play Master System games on it.

Wow! I never knew that. Thanks for telling me your thought. I've only saw a few Game Gear game reviews. They say its unreviewable b/c of its glare on the camra, but now theres a cable to review their games in clear vision.

You're welcome and there is indeed a bit of glare if you're recording it with a camera. However, there are hardware mods that can get a video signal to output with an composite cable.

I think Mike said something about that on his review on Game Gear game when he had a friend built on for him. Its on cinemassacre.com you heard of it?

The only thing I've really known of cinemassacre is that it's where the Angry Video Game Nerd posts his videos. I haven't been there in a while though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, he's been making his movie while his friend Mike took over while he was gone. He's back now but hasen't made an offical AVGN episode yet. Just his memories of games and continuing on his old episode You Know What Bullshit.

Awesome me too, also I have a working one, lol.

Thanks. Mine was working for a long time but suddenly stopped. I think it's about time to have the capacitors changed and the screen replaced with a better one.
