Re: Game Gear Micro
Seeing this definately sparked some nostalgia for me.
I bought this instead of a Game Boy and I think I used a toiletry bag as a carry case.
I wanted the Game Gear and not a Game Boy because it was full colour and not difficult to see the screen (I've always had terrible eyesight).
I really wanted and got Castle of Illusion and Space Harrier. I think they were my fave games and the first games I ever completed.
I'm sure I had Sonic, as well as Super Monaco, but they were average games (never really got into Sonic). Can't remember what else I had although I am sure that I didnt have that many games.
Beleive it or not, whilst the battery life was a pain, I worked round that, by getting an AC adapter (which also fitted in my carry bag), and I am sure (but can't be certain) that I bought a load of rechargable batteries and two chargers. I do see people writing off this ad the Lynx and GT for being battery burners, and whilst that was true, it was in reality a minor concern and not as big (for me) as it is made out. You made your choice and you found ways to enjoy the system.
Not sure why I got rid of it, most likely i traded it. I remember at the time someone wanted to trade me a GB with a nunch of games, but I was never tempted.
Only with the backlight DMG solution can I now enjoy the Game Boy and it's games, and i am not sure I would pick up another Game Gear, but I am more tempted to get myself a Master System.
As for the GGm, well I also wish it was just a little bit bigger, but at the same time it would make a cool key ring.
I think I will definately get one, if I see one discounted for sure.
* This is a much-reduced post beleive it or not. I didn't post the even larger rambling essay about the Game Gear I was typing last night.

Re: Game Gear Micro
A Master System? Now you're talking. Other than the GB its the only cart based system Im tempted to rebuy and build a collection for yet I've no idea why.
Games are superb but... system itself is not ideal to play on.

Re: Game Gear Micro
I'm a massive Sega fan and I am disappointed with the GG Micro. It looks like the only thing it will give you is hand cramp and eye strain. They should have made it in a form factor similar to the original, maybe a bit smaller, nice screen, rechargeable battery and loaded it with as much IP as they have the rights for in the GG/MS library. Even if it cost more I think they would get more sales from it.

Re: Game Gear Micro

Re: Game Gear Micro
Most likely in house, just like the Mega Drive Mini. I think they learned their lesson with AtGames.

Re: Game Gear Micro
Def getting one, when the price comes down.
They are ridiculously impractical, a little bit larger and a few more games and they would be amazing, but nonetheless they are really cute and why not?

Re: Game Gear Micro
Got the white Aleste Collection GG Micro today, and the so called "SEGA Big Window" almost makes it playable. GG Aleste 3 is fairly awesome even on such a tiny screen.
Not tried the PS4 versions of the games yet...

Re: Game Gear Micro
How's the big window? On youtube it just looks like a box that doesn't actually magnify?
