SEGA GAME GEAR

6 October 1990

Marketed as a direct respone to Nintendo's Game Boy, Sega's Game Gear was a top class handheld device, comfortably fitting into the #2 spot. Sega opted to go for a faster and more powerful device than Nintendo, featuring a colour screen and an architecture very similar to that of the Mark III, but with a slightly lower resolution. The end result was a success, hampered only by the machine's bulky size, and low battery life (6 batteries would only last around 3 hours). Many 4-star games appeared on the format, both as conversions of Sega's massive arcade back catalogue and numerous original productions. It also had an innovative 'TV Tuner' adaptor, enabling the machine to be turned into a portable colour television.   G-3101 Columns 6 Oct 1990 G-3102 Pengo 6 Oct 1990 G-3103 Woody Pop 1 Mar 1991 G-3104 Columns [Meisaku Collection] 23 Jul 1993 G-3201 Super Monaco GP 6 Oct 1990 G-3202 Tensai Mahjong Haopai 10 Nov 1990 G-3203 Psychic World 22 Feb 1991 G-3204 G-LOC 15 Dec 1990 G-3205 Wonder Boy 8 Dec 1990 G-3206 Dragon Crystal 22 Dec 1990 G-3207 The Pro Yakyuu '91 2 Feb 1991 G-3208 Tarot no Yakata 26 Jan 1991 G-3209 Putt & Putter 27 Sep 1991 G-3210 Ganbare Golby (aka 'Factory Panic') 21 Jun 1991 G-3211 - - G-3212 Space Harrier 28 Dec 1991 G-3213 Out Run 9 Aug 1991 G-3214 - - G-3215 Ninja Ryukenden (aka 'Ninja Gaiden') 1 Nov 1991 G-3216 Phantasy Star Adventure 13 Mar 1992 G-3217 Hyper Pro Yakyuu '92 24 Apr 1992 G-3218 Hyokkori Hyoutan Jima 22 May 1992 G-3219 Aerial Assault 5 Jun 1992 G-3220 Hano no Toukyuji Dodge Danpei 7 Aug 1992 G-3221 Wimbledon 26 Feb 1993 G-3222 Out Run (re-release) - G-3223 - - G-3224 Nazo Puyo 23 Jul 1993 G-3225 - - G-3226 Super Columns 26 May 1995 G-3227 - - G-3228 Bare Knuckle II (aka 'Streets of Rage II') 23 Jul 1993 G-3229 Jurassic Park 30 Jul 1993 G-3301 Castle of Illusion 23 Mar 1991 G-3302 The GG Shinobi 26 Apr 1991 G-3303 Kuni-chan no Game Tengoku 22 Nov 1991 G-3304 Ax Battler 1 Nov 1991 G-3305 Joe Montana Football 22 May 1992 G-3306 Lucky Dime Caper 20 Dec 1991 G-3307 Sonic 21 Dec 1991 G-3308 Monster World II 27 Mar 1992 G-3309 - - G-3310 - - G-3311 Battletoads 14 Jan 1994 G-3312 Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II 28 Aug 1992 G-3313 Bare Knuckle (aka 'Streets of Rage') 27 Nov 1992 G-3314 Batman Returns 23 Oct 1992 G-3315 The GG Shinobi II 11 Dec 1992 G-3316 Olympic Gold 24 Jul 1992 G-3317 Lemmings 5 Feb 1993 G-3318 - - G-3319 Tom & Jerry The Movie 25 Jun 1993 G-3320 Chuck Rock 30 Oct 1992 G-3321 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 24 Nov 1992 G-3322 Kuni-chan no Game Tengoku Part 2 18 Dec 1992 G-3323 Mickey Mouse - Mahou no Crystal (aka 'Land of Illusion') 26 Mar 1993 G-3324 Puyo Puyo 19 Mar 1993 G-3325 - - G-3326 Doreamon Nora no Suke no Yabou 28 Apr 1993 G-3327 Aa Harimanada 2 Jul 1993 G-3328 - - G-3329 - - G-3330 GG Aleste II 1 Oct 1993 G-3331 Sonic & Tails (aka 'Sonic Chaos') 19 Nov 1993 G-3332 Deep Duck Trouble 17 Dec 1993 G-3333 Ultimate Soccer 19 Nov 1993 G-3334 - - G-3335 Tensai Mahjon Haopai 2 17 Dec 1993 G-3336 Aladdin 25 Mar 1994 G-3337 - - G-3338 - - G-3339 Gambler Jikochushin Ha 12 Jun 1992 G-3340 Ronald in the Magical World 4 Mar 1994 G-3341 Buster Fight 11 Feb 1994 G-3342 Lillehammer 94 Winter Olympics 11 Feb 1994 G-3343 Yu Yu Hakusho 18 Mar 1994 G-3344 Ecco the Dolphin 11 Mar 1994 G-3345 Tant-R 22 Apr 1994 G-3346 Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba 9 Sep 1994 G-3347 GP Rider 22 Apr 1994 G-3348 Torarete Tamaruka!? 3 Jun 1994 G-3349 Gunstar Heroes 24 Mar 1995 G-3350 Coca-Cola Kid 5 Aug 1994 G-3351 - - G-3352 Dunk Kids 23 Sep 1994 G-3353 The Pro Yakyuu GG League '94 30 Sep 1994 G-3354 Yu Yu Hakusho II 30 Sep 1994 G-3355 Dynamite Headdy 5 Aug 1994 G-3356 Sonic & Tails 2 (aka 'Sonic Triple Trouble') 11 Nov 1994 G-3357 Nazo Puyo Aruru no Ru 29 Jul 1994 G-3358 Fred Couples Golf 23 Dec 1994 G-3359 Ichidant-R GG 25 Nov 1994 G-3360 Mickey Mouse - Densetsu no Houguku (aka 'Legend of Illusion') 13 Jan 1995 G-3361 Tamalympics 3 Mar 1995 G-3362 Ecco II 3 Feb 1995 G-3363 The Lion King 13 Jan 1995 G-3364 Gamble Panic 27 Jan 1995 G-3365 Ristar 17 Feb 1995 G-3366 Sonic Drift 2 17 Mar 1995 G-3367 The Quiz Gear Fight!! 7 Apr 1995 G-3368 Tails' Sky Patrol 28 Apr 1995 G-3369 Tempo Jr. 28 Apr 1995 G-3370 Ninku 21 Jul 1995 G-3371 Tatakae!
