It has been awhile since I Posted anything on here. So hello again! So I am about to try and collect a complete Game Gear game collection. I don't care about boxes at this point just looking for the carts. Just wondering what any of you have come across in finding games. and how many have full collections. I see that most of the games loose are not too much cash, but trying to find them looks tough. I have had one for a while, but the battery contacts are so messed up I have to use an ac adapter. I did just bought a "new" one the other day that is in much better condition, I may end up modding the messed up one to have a better screen at some point and fixing the battery contacts as well. Any tips on my search? |

I've been waiting so long for someone to come along and make a 3rd party Game gear device, I'm still hoping Hyperkin or somebody will make one that connects to a TV. I have 6-7 Game Gears, maybe 2 work, but I haven't messed with them in over a year, so they might be bad by this point. I have about 60 GG games. |

I own 81 GG games and Like what people say Its not easy finding a reliable GG to play. I too have several GG systems and maybe 2 work. (i was lucky to pick one one from a garage sale for $5) I too would love a GG Adapter that fits into a SMS or GEN. I know a Game store that has a ton of GG games, they just don't sell. lol Heck one store just gave me a bunch for free to me once because again they just don't sell. I've been to shows that have a small bin full of GG games and they want only a couple dollars a game. |

I have a local store with a metric ton of them, but they price them 2x retail so they never sell. They usually do 50% off GG games a few times a year. *Hint* They still don't sell. From my experience, the best way to get GG games is one of two ways. Pawn shops and trading. Most people who have GG games will trade for just about anything to get rid of them. I'm always on the fence about acquiring new GG games. I can't and won't play them until there is a way to play them on the TV (there are hack/mods to do it, but out of my skillset/time) but as soon as a way comes that you can play them on a TV, you can be damned sure they will go up in value, even if only temporarily. |
