Game Gear game recommendations

    Hello

    I picked up a game Gear last year along with streets of rage, a friend recapped it and did a good job.

    I'm gonna have a play of it this Christmas, just wondering what are your favourite games that you'd recommend?
    TIA

    Buy a gameboy!

    Not a whole lot of great games on it and a lot play better on the master system.

    Both Game Gear Shinobi's are absolute belters though.

    I'd also be interested in folks' ideas. I have one stored away but have an emu handheld to do me in the meantime.

    Not so many good games on it, at least the ones I played. As retro says, most are better on the MS (and are just ports).

    I remember Slider quite fondly. A puzzler in the mold of Chu Chu rocket (but predating it, obvs)

    Wonder boy: The Dragons Trap
    Sonic 2
    Super Off Road
    Road Rash


    Some of what I remember from childhood to be good. Still have the game gear. Will check what other games I have that were good.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    I remember ninja gaiden being brilliant, swapping between the ninjas as you go each level

    Whether it holds up is a different story.

    Actually scratch that, I was getting mixed up with shinobi that somebody already mentioned

    Master of Darkness, as Said the shinobi games are very good, Castle of illusion, Defenders of Oasis, Shining Force, Psychic World, The Lucky Dime Caper, Ax Battler, Roadrash, Megaman and Gunstar Heroes aint bad.

    Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread by I just dug out 9 Game Gear games I found while moving.
    Was going to make a thread asking if any of them are worth anything above like 3-5 euros just in case there is some sought after goodies among them.
