To help repair the handheld's somewhat dinged-up image, I decided to conduct an experiment. Not that we would EVER condone such behavior at The Internet Is In America, obviously. Well, that, or you can cheat and hit up the emulators. Thankfully, the Game Gear is a region-free unit, so as long as you don't mind stumbling through some kanji, you can play virtually every title released on the handheld worldwide on your U.S. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say the Game Gear has such a less-than-stellar reputation today because the pool of North American cartridges was rather shallow compared to the MUCH more robust library overseas.
#SEGA GAME GEAR GAMES LIST PORTABLE#
Alas, while Sega's portable is largely remembered today as an epic hardware failure (thanks in no small part to an absurdly short battery life), the truth of the matter is that there actually were quite a few good, great and flat-out excellent titles released on the platform, including a number that not only rival the best the Game Boy had to offer, but in some cases, even exceeded them. The 8-bit, full-color handheld always played second fiddle to the Game Boy, despite being a much more impressive piece of hardware. Who else remembers the special zone where you run through that 3d halfpipe too? That just blew my mind.Oh, the Sega Game Gear. Now I just play for fun, but if anyone did manage to see that cutscene then let us know on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram! I never got to see Sonic flying alongside Tails as Super Sonic at the very end as I was never a thorough gamer as a kid. Sonic 2 could be one of the Best SEGA Genesis Games on the planet I’m surprised my cartridge still works after all of the times I slammed it into the console, blowing the dust out when I’d not played for a couple of days after being defeated by Robotnik yet again.įrom Westside Island to the all-mighty Death Egg, Sonic must once again travel through his side-scrolling world to defeat Doctor Robotnik and retrieve the Chaos Emeralds. Link, Sonic, Spyro, Mario, Solid Snake they represent more to gaming than any of the other characters put together, and I think it’s fair to say that SEGA made the right choice when creating their console mascot. Altered BeastĮveryone’s favourite hedgehog is a gaming legend there’s no denying it, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is one of the finest games ever made. That’s the general idea once again, and although the formula isn’t new, it’s still a cracking game! 17. Honestly, if Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie worked that well, then I wouldn’t have spent so much money ringing up the Nintendo hotline to ask what the ice key was all about!!Ĭollect rings, defeat minions, run fast. The best bit about this game is that it can be docked with Sonic 2 or 3, bringing all the characters into each game! … Robotnik really needs someone to name his inventions for him. Meanwhile, Knuckles has a number of run ins with EggRobo… He’s trying to get his fallen Death Egg back into orbit which is keeping Sonic pretty busy. It’s good to see them on the same side… all that conflict was too much to handle!Īs always, Robotnik is sticking his bulbous nose where it doesn’t belong. There was a time when a new Sonic game dropped every year the 90’s really was a glorious decade, and Sonic & Knuckles sums it up perfectly.Īs the sequel to the brilliant Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Knuckles returns and joins forces with Sonic and Tails on an adventure set on Angel Island.
Turn’s out Nigel is a bit of a seedy-old devil! 20. The Japanese version was a lot more sultry than the European cart too, with references to brothels and a scene where you can share a bath with an attractive-pixelated lady being removed. I was just doing a bit of research for this article, and I found out that Nigel is 88-years-old!ĭude looks around 13 in the picture above, but I guess treasure hunting is one of those professions that keep you looking young! It has an early Legend Of Zelda feel about it and has lots of mazes and fantasy elements that help to create a mysterious and engaging plotline. The game is set in an isometric view, what I’d call 2.5D. He’s probably called Nigel too… Nigel Nole. Yep you play as Nigel the Treasure Hunter as he travels through underground dungeons and open outdoor areas in search of clues that will lead him straight to the treasure of King Nole. Landstalker is the next title in our list of the Best Sega Genesis Games, and in true Sega fashion, they have given their lead character a fearsome name that other characters would cower before… I know some of you are probably thinking of that amazing creature from the Dark Crystal series, but that’s a Landstrider, not a Landstalker.
