Lost World was the last Game Gear game released. I didn't even know of its existence until the 3-5 years after it released as I had moved on to other systems for a while focusing on PS1, Dreamcast and then PS2. When I discovered it, I immediately grabbed a copy on eBay, but sadly, all I could find was the cartridge only. The graphics were slightly improved but the fun twist was that they took a page from the Genesis game and allowed you to be a dinosaur. Sadly, not a raptor but a compy. I'm guessing that their thought process was that you're on the smaller Sega, so you get the smaller dinosaur. Still fun to play though. As the manuals are nearly impossible to find by themselves and I don't have room to collect all the boxes, I had the manual reprinted for it which turned out really good.

17. Battletoads - This is a faithful port of the NES game into the handheld space. It's obviously not a 1 to 1 but it is really close. The game plays quite a bit faster than I would have expected it too. While I haven't beat this version of it, the game is still quite a bit of fun. The only down side that I've experienced in it thus far is that you can't ride the dragon creatures that try to knock you down like you could in the NES game.

Was hoping for a bit more participation on this one but I'll keep it trucking until I hit 50 by myself if I have too I guess.

18. Incredible Crash Dummies - This was my third game for the system. It's very simplistic in nature... more akin to many of today's cell phone games minus the ads. You cycle through about five different mini games over and over with each round of cycles getting more difficult. I'm honestly not sure if there's an end too it or not. I think the best I did was 5-6 rounds of cycles. The mini games included jumping off of a roof, crashing a car, skiing, hammering explosives, and flying a rocket. The hammering game was the most boring.

Sorry for the large pic. It was either this one or one so small you could barely make it out.

19. FIFA International Soccer

It's the last one I can remember playing on my SEGA Game Gear. I think that the SEGA Game Gear was and underrated handheld, But I guess Many people probably didn't own a SEGA Game Gear. Since everyone liked the longer lasting battery life of the Nintendo Gameboy Handheld.

10.62 million unit were sold according to Wikipedia today. And according to google the SEGA Game Gear had 364 games some games I don't even think are in the Database here. although I didn't count how many games were listed in this site current database.

a lot of the old Game Gears today are so old they have a screen problem :-\
I heard somewhere

That's quite accurate. Sega used cheap capacitors in their construction. Most Game Gear systems today have had their capacitors leak causing issues with the video and/or audio. With mine, the audio was completely shot. I had capacitors replaced on both the audio and video card but the guy that did it missed that the capacitors had leaked onto the main mother board and the leak eventually ate through it causing total failure. I managed to later get the motherboard completely replaced with modern capacitors and changed out the tube backlights with LEDs. I may eventually get an upgrade to the McWill mod, but time will tell.

Glad to say there's a large revival for the underappreciated handheld.
