Top 50 Sega Game Gear Games

A few months ago, there was a slew of top 50-150 games for various retro systems. One that is often overlooked is the Sega Game Gear; which is my favorite handheld system. I would imagine most of us know about the history of Sega and how the rival of the Game Gear (Game Boy) obviously won out that battle, however, Game Gear still has a great library and lots to offer.

I thought it would be fun to bring back one of the "Top ##" threads for this year and start it off with a favorite of mine. If you don't have experience playing on Game Gear, I recommend you check some of the games out however you can that end up getting listed in this thread. Also, if you played the Sega Master System (SMS) and have a favorite, so long as the game is also on Game Gear in some fashion, you can list it instead. The two platforms shared most of their library.

Let's get this started....

1. Sonic Triple Trouble - Sonic was a massive pull as to why I asked for a Game Gear instead of a Game Boy and Triple Trouble was arguably the best Sonic game on the system. Sega had added in quite a bit from the Genesis versions including snowboarding which was only available on one level, but fun none-the-less. As per usual, great soundtrack as well.

I dumped a considerable amount of time into this game...



Not that it counts but when it got a Sega CD release I dumped as much, if not more, time into that one.  :P

It was my favorite Game Gear game but I did not have a Game Gear vary long because my friends stole it. but eventually another friend or neighborhood  resident returned the Game Gear to me but all the games were lost



If I was smarter I would have pursued the friends that took it. but back then I had no friends, and for some reason I didn't try to get it back I don't know why today. Probably because I didn't know which friend took it since multiple friends were over at that time.

Oh man. Glad you got it back eventually. I would have told my parents and had a police report made out and taken them to each "friend's" home.

Continuing with the list...

4. Jurassic Park - Each Sega Jurassic Park game was different. Something that I thought was pretty cool at the time. You play as Grant (though the character doesn't look anything like him in the GG version) playing through 5 levels. The 5th level is hidden until you've completed the other 4. Pretty neat T-Rex chase at the end of the game. You're supposed to capture each of the 5 main dinosaurs in the game to get the park back under control. I had a blast with it and played it constantly. I still play it from time to time.
