    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

    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.
    If there is a better thread to post on, let me know please.
    1. Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (w/ Manual)
    2. Sonic The Hedgehog 2
    3. The GG Shinobi
    4. Columns (w/ Manual)
