20. Sonic Chaos - Sonic was the bread and butter of Sega back when Game Gear was at the height of its lifespan. I remember getting Chaos and loving every second of it. The graphics were improved, you could be Tails if you wanted. They even made it so you could do the standing spindash from Sonic CD. The level design and music were great as per usual, however, the emphasis on rocket shoes and the odd bouncer that would stick to Sonic for a while made the game frustrating at times.

21. Streets of Rage - While not as good as the sequel the game was still incredible fun on the Game Gear. Being able to beat the heck out of street punks will always be top notch in my book. Sadly, I didn't get to play these games until I was an adult as they were seen as too violent by my parents. Incredibly fun games though and glad to have both in my collection.

22. NBA Jam - This is probably the only sports series that I enjoyed. I'm not a huge fan of sports in general, but the over the top action of being able to do insane dunks and break backboards and have the ball on fire and burn the net. It was all done so well and done at the right time. Then you had all the hidden unlockable characters and codes such as allowing you to dunk from half court. Fantastic. The handheld version is far more difficult to see but just as addicting. I dumped tons of hours into the original title and lived to shatter that backboard with an insane dunk.

telekill:
23. Star Trek TNG The Advanced Holodeck Tutorial - While not as cool as the Genesis game as you never got to beam down to planets on this one, it still kept you engaged via ship battles and rescue missions. There was also a story to go with it, but it wasn't as good as one of the regular episodes as they were trying to constantly push the gameplay portions into being coherent. That said, the graphics were insanely good for the handheld and the soundtrack and effects were nearly spot on. Very impressive.

24. MegaMan - This title works really well on the Game Gear as the series was conceptualized for a two button system. The graphics are on par with what you would expect and the gameplay remains the same as the NES games. There are only four levels to play I'm guessing due to size restrictions on the small for the time cartridges. That said, I'm not sure these levels are on any of the other versions of MegaMan. These levels could have been built specifically for the Game Gear release. Sadly, I don't have this one in my collection due to how expensive it is to collect and I didn't know about it until around 2015.
