Essential Game Gear titles

[Strider]

Surely there must be some.

I can think of Wonder Boy III
Gunstar Heroes
GG Shinobi 1 and 2 and that's about it...

There is this game with a blue hedgehog! What's it called again? lol

I did say essential

C'mon the Sonic games were probably the best games on the GG aside from Shinobi.

Castle of Illusion was excellent too. I suppose if you are looking for stuff that wasn't on the Master Sytem then Ristar is noteable.

SHINING FORCE! All three of them.

That is all.

Streets of Rage 2 was quality as was Sonic Chaos. I also love Puyo Pop on it too.

Hmm, a Game Gear love-in thread ... now where's Gary gone?

[garyfoo182]

HAH! I knew someone would name drop me. Id say get Sonic Blast, just because its bloody murder to find and i actually enjoy playing it.

But yeah the sonic games are awesome. Sonic Triple Trouble is particularly fun to play and has awesome graphics.

I've heard only good things about:

Sylvan Tale (recently translated)

an action adventure ala Zelda

and Tails' Adventures

a side-scrolling action RPG in the vein of Metroid.

Wimbledon isn't bad either.

Looks like a nice Master System Conversion. Essential for tennis game fans.

Tails Adventures looks interesting.. What did that play like?

[Ryo Saeba]

I'd say check out the Wikipedia article and/or try it out (via emulation).
I've only played a few minutes and can't say much about it.

[garyfoo182]

Tails adventure is the only Sonic related Euro/ PAL game gear game im missing so alas....I can not comment but I have also heard only good things.

Almost everone rates Sonic The Hedgehog on the Mega Drive over the Master System and Game Gear versions but both offer diffrent experiances.

The Mega Drive version is still absolutly beautiful but the Master System version, same as the Game Gear port, looks really abstract and has a real ace up its sleeve.

The Master System version has brillant little puzzles and really rewards players who explores the areas. Whereas the Mega Drive was a race towards the end, the GG & MS version was all about exploring and finding the hidden emeralds and items.

The Waterfall level has some absolutly brillant hidden areas and is great to play through even now. I love the floating tree section.
