Gamegear Review



The biggest problem of this system was the battery life you needed all the time to play it like a unlimited supply of batterry and it did not help much it took 6 Double aa battery so if you were wanting to play it much you could easily be paying £20 to £100 a month just on batteries you can get cheaper battery now but at the time running it long term was known as an expensive thing when you compare it to the gameboy took just 4 battery and lasted a lot of hours overall around 35 hours. The Game Gear only lasted around 6 hours which was big difference in play time plus needed 2 more battery as well. This was why a rechargeable unit was sold later on since it would allow people to play for a extra 2 hours which when 6 hours was not much time overall compared to the competitor.


It had many impressive games for it such as Wonderboy was at the time a impressive RGP for me one of the overall best RPG I ever played on handheld console story was both fun and interesting to play it as like RPG platformer style of game if you have never played this before you should the creative skilsl behind the game was mind blowing for how good it was you could change from a man to dragon among other character types with different abilities . https://segaretro.org/Sega_Game_Gear




Sonic was just as good as Sega Mega Drive which was impressive to be fair for a console at this timpe period since Sonic at the time was one of the most popular games in the world.




IT was one of the first ever colour themed handheld consoles so it was impressive for quite a lot of people since the gameboy was kind of like black and white sort of colour for a lot of the games overall since it could not handle colours as well as the gamegear could so it was the sort of one of only at the time it was made.




Had many interesting add on such as way to make the screen last longer or a way to watch TV on it both incredible add on things for example I used to watch TV on it often when I had it in the past it will not work anymore since technology has changed but it was good in the earlier days.




A lot of people don’t know but a lot of say traveling workers would in the past carry them around to play before meeting often it was in the past a big thing people like Chairpersons would own when they went on trips around the country or world a like so it did in a way have a kind of like secret upper themed client base for it .




It was released in 1991 by Sega the idea behind it was to try and out do what Nintendo did over the Game Boy since it had become runaway success for sales or popularity a like and had 3.2 inch square screen the starting price was around £100 and games would cost between £20 to £30 normally and would be molded into a Black plastic with a rounded style of front for a easy way to remove the game each time .


Wonderboy Dragon quest from gamegear and modern version of the game showing dragon with fire blowing and green coloured house in each photo plus 1989 and 2017 and difference between old and modern game

Wonderboy Dragon trap probably best RPG for the console and  probably best gameplay from the 1980s time period it had a lot of thought come into like the storyline elements no speech was done by the characters it was just  block of texts but I felt this was  still very cool.


I like a lot you can change from a knighted man into like monsters like dragon which changes your power to like fire blowing powers that alone makes it so much fun and going into the water to do like swimming to me is very cool and fun to play as a whole to me.


IT should not take someone to long to complete it like 6 hours should give you enough time to complete you can find extra parts if you look around the game as well plus you can buy weapons or armour or magic which I think is  smart the buying elements for the gameplay as well.


Jumping works well in the game one of the best for the 1980s time period a lot of games during this had delays or problems with the coding to make them not run well often.


Boss fighting in the game is the most fun part normally you need to workout how to kill the enemy by finding out it's weakness such as like it's head some of the time is how to kill the boss so look for the weakness if you keep losing then complete the boss and get enjoyment from doing this.




They released kind of like their own version of Tetris called Columns same sort of idea but it was very cool game to play on the often. It came with blacklight which was very smart idea to allow to play in the dark fairly simply .

   Controls really suck here even getting attack on a keyboard more less impossible to do here you would need a controller to have any fun but I doubt the controls would really get much better. Graphics look very 1990s here but with better controls it could had being like possible competitor to street fighter instead of like cheap rip of here for how it looks to me and most others I doubt it would had any serious fans unless they never played street  when they first got the game or had no other games making it's low quality seem in theory high quality to a small amount of people in some cases.  https://www.game24hours.com/2023/05/doom-troopers.html All the moves look very bad display wise to me.

Doraemon 3: Nobita to Toki no Hougyoku

 Great music here one of the best ever heard from the Snes but I suspect over the popularity of this animation show for why they put so much of effort into music here. You get different characters with the fat  guy having spinning attack which can take down more less  any enemy close combat wise so good specialist attack for that area. You get boy with like shooting attack better for long-distance attacks here. Has a good feel to platformer elements plus you can  get health back by collecting hearts or upgrades to your health amount or get health back from like inn setup in the storyline it seen by many people as like the best Doraemon game for the Snes. https://www.game24hours.com/2023/05/doraemon-2-nobita-no-toys-land-daibouken.html

Secret of mana

  The starting part of the game you see the Mana Empire building in action used by the Empire in the past or present during the game the future screen you see is very well designed to me looks wise and the dark green and the blue lights on the power part of it look fantastic to me.  A role playing game released on the  Super Nintendo  it was for many people one of the world best RPG games since for older consoles it had many impressive features to name a few would include Dragons Cannons Magic Weapons many kinds Three main characters Special abilities Mana sword The dragons when you get the device to summon it allows you to call for a dragon which can then fly you to any location on the map when you see the map from the dragon's viewpoint the graphics look incredible for 16 bit machine which is very impressive showing the lack of graphic possible ways of the past it could pass in some ways as better than a decent amount of modern games for the graphic in some ways. https://www.game
