2-Bit Gaming - 026 - Sega Game Gear (Alternatives to Gameboy)

A show that details many aspects of the video game industry. Episode 026 is the second in a series of videos about handheld game system alternatives to the Gameboy. Sega's Game Gear wasn't the only handheld released in competition with the Gameboy, but it was the only one to come close to any success in the US handheld market until a decade later and Nintendo retiring the Gameboy brand.

[TheCIScommander]

My game gear has light-moderate bleeding. How long until my caps die?

[kainkusanagi]

@TheCIScommander I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "bleeding". Do you mean the caps are leaking?

[TheCIScommander]

@kainkusanagi ghost lines on the screen. If a colour is really intense the object will lightly go through the screen.

[kainkusanagi]

@TheCIScommander You probably have some bad capacitors that need replacing.

i need a serious answer here. Im playing my new game gear i got from ebay, and i put in sonic 2 but lines coming from the life counter and the floor this also happens with first sonic but not as noticeable.. is this normal of or is my screen losing life. if you need an example of what im saying please tell me ill make a vid. PLEASE HELP!!!

[kainkusanagi]

@bion456 You probably have some bad capacitors. Some might not be as bad as others, but it's better to replace them all. I can't say for sure that is your problem, but replacing the capacitors is a good place to start.

[TheCIScommander]

@kainkusanagi I'll replace them when the bleeding becomes really bad/flickering in the screen.

I love Sega so much that I made a video about Game Gear and Sega Genesis in which the Sega Genesis video have two parts. I have the Sega blue Game Gear. I did had fond memories of Game Gear in which I hated that Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for Game Gear that you show between 5:52 to 6:19 because it was so hard for me to beat it. One more thing Kevin in the "Show more" or (more info) below my Sega blue Game Gear I had the link to this your 2-Bit Gaming - 026 - Sega Game Gear (Alternatives to Gameboy).

@TasteTheirFeet If you like strategy RPGs like FF Tactics get Shining Force. Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden are good. Ax Battler is like Zelda II. Columns is a classic puzzler. If you can find it Mega Man is a great port. Dynamite Headdy and Ristar are really great and cheap at Amazon so don't miss out on those gems. There was a port of Gunstar Heroes, but I don't have it so I can't say if it's hard to find or not.
