Why the Sega Game Gear Is Still Worth It

KeenGamer: "The Sega Game Gear was ahead of its time compared to Nintendo’s Game Boy but can be hard to go back to today with its blurry screen and unreliability. However, there are solutions to enjoying the Game Gear's library without the headaches."

Of course the Mejesco Game Gear will not have capacitor issues there is a just about a 10 year gap from when the real Game Gear came out and the Majesco Game Gear and of course the screen will look better LCD technology improved when the Majesco Game Gear came out as well. Look at the Atari Lynx and Turbo Express they have issues with their screens because they are well played and old and electronics do get tired when they are old. Early 1990's other electronics had capacitor issues as well they were botched the moment they were made. As for the screen that can happen to anything look at some of the old spinach coloured Game Boys looks like some one dropped a rock on their screen screens fail after being almost 30 years old. The Sega Nomad is also notorious for failing and leaking capacitors and the screen looking like garbage. The McWill mod for the Game Gear is worth doing and so are the capacitors if you know what you are doing the Game Gear is a great console a portable SMS if you can find the adapter at a decent price. I wish Sega had an adapter to play Game Gear back on the Genesis but they couldn't because the Game Gear displays a higher colour palette the both the Genesis and the SMS.

I had someone do the McWill mod and new capacitors on my Game Gear and its still a great little hand held yeah it's a battery hog but it does have some decent titles. The rerelease they did for the Game Gear that was a poor choice 4 different colours with 4 different games the screen being to small and the buttons being so small. I would grab it up as a collector but I wouldn't play them and enjoy them like my real Game Gear.

I remember finding one of these in a yard sale sometime in my early years of high school for just a few bucks.
Was an awesome little handheld, but ate through batteries like nobody's business.

Lol even Sega fanboy won't say that. It was a terrible console, even in 92.. It was huge, tiny screen, 2 buttons and start, 6 lithium batteries that last max 15 min.

OneLove1272d ago

😂 I'll never forget how many batteries I went through owning this🤣

It's actually quite easy to get a recapped Game Gear off of eBay or another ecommerce site.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN11h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos9h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN2h ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger11h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto13h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos13h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long10h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel12h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator11h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg15h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos14h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola9h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
