  • While there are no Game Gear homebrew titles, it is technically possible to load homebrew onto the Everdrive GG.
  • The Game Gear was a videogame system released by Sega. Two Smurf videogames were released for this system in Europe, such as: * The Smurfs * The Smurfs Travel the World The Game Gear does not have regional lockout in its hardware, so a Game Gear from any region is able to play a game from any region.
  • Game Gear is one of the SeHa Girls set to be featured in Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls. Unike her Hyperdimension Neptunia counterpart, Nepgear, she is inspired by a real handheld, the Sega Game Gear.
  • Game Gear is a 16-bit (4th g eneration) handheld game console made by Sega in 1994.
  • After achieving success in the US market with the Genesis, Sega decided to compete with the Game Boy. Their idea was called the Game Gear. Needless to say, it didn't do quite so well when compared to its competitor. Not that it was a flop, mind you — it lasted from 1990-97 and sold 10 million units. That might not be as impressive as the Game Boy's 118 million, but it was the most successful handheld to go against Nintendo until the PSP, and had the advantage of being in color at a time when the Game Boy was still in its green-and-black days.
  • Ok let's get some things straight here: the base Game Gear model alone is just terrible. It has a horrible screen, eats enough batteries to choke a hungry hungry hippo, and it's hard to find certain games for it. HOWEVER, if you're willing to do some modding and buy the proper accessories for your Game Gear it can be an absolutely wonderful little handheld. 1. Definitely LED mod, fixes both the screen and battery life is quadrupled. 2. Buy the rechargeable battery, not only will the also increase battery life but it's a damn rechargeable battery! No more wasting your money on those batteries.

That might not be as impressive as the Game Boy's 118 million, but it was the most successful handheld to go against Nintendo until the PSP, and had the advantage of being in color at a time when the Game Boy was still in its green-and-black days. However, the biggest issue was battery life. Even if the chips didn't consume a lot of power, the mandatory backlight (as in you couldn't turn it off) did. It took six AA batteries, and even then only lasted 2-5 hours. Another problem was the first runs were faulty, and that along with the battery life caused the audience in Japan to largely ignore it. This led to only minor support from third parties. Even then, it's not a system to ignore if you have the batteries or an umbilical AC adapter (conveniently, it was compatible with Sega Genesis AC adapters). In 2001, third party game developer Majesco, with assistance from Sega, reissued the Game Gear for a reduced price. Only a few games were re-issued with it (notably Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos and Columns), it still had the battery problems and aside from the retro gaming market, did not catch on with the consumers. It was gone again by the end of the year.

I know it looks tempting but don't buy the Master System Converter. You won't be able to use it with the battery pack, most games look bad when converted, and most of them already have ports on the Game Gear.
