The only WS game I've played for any real amount of time thus far is the Mega Man game for it. It's not bad. Some of the levels are vertical, which is weird but alright.

I've been wanting a GP2X-type machine for a while. Pandora seems like the ultimate one, so I'm waiting for the next Pandora hardware revision, then I'll be able to emulate basically anything up to N64/PS era. I'm not sure if it can handle beyond that.

I always wanted one of these.

I know its like the best portable iv ever see, other then that book that makes consoles into portibles, like the psx the nes and the snes, if i had the mopney id give it a shot

It's interesting. Basically you have an ever-decreasing timer, and anytime you get hit you lose time. So it's like a slightly puzzle-action game based mostly around the ability to progress as efficiently as you can. I'm stuck on level 2, lol.

It's funny how you mentioned all the games I ever owned for it (admittedly a small amount, but still). Wario Land is indeed a superb platformer, and it's a shame to think that the platform itself kind of prohibited it from getting the audience it really deserved. Nester's Funky Bowling is a great bowling sim, but if you're not into sports then it's not going to change your mind about anything. Tetris 3D is pretty good, although out of all the games I played on an actual VB, this was the one that put the most "strain" on me, and thus, required more play breaks.

Oh, I also had a baseball and tennis game, but they were merely passable.

Makes me want to try and dig mine out again...

Jack Bros. is alright. Bound High is where it's at, though.

Heh! Remember when that thing was out in the stores. Couldn't afford it.

The story behind Gizmondo is like a sloppier version of Tron; when computers and crime cooperate.

Having pretty much a CRT monitor in the sob really sucked some juice. I bought one 10 years back just to play one for the first time in my life, and the son of a bitch monitor was constantly giving me horizontal lines, and shit. I enjoyed it, but I don't know if it was damaged, or if they just got old and started to burn out.

I would have shit a brick if I would have gotten one instead of the GB, back in the early 90's. Alas I think I preferred the GB's selection of games even though the GG blew the GB's graphics out of the water.

I don't think I ever used my Game Gear on the go. Ironically, it was a strictly at-home device.

Another problem that the Game Gear has is the screen is susceptible to crapping out before everything else, leaving you with a irritating but not quite unplayable flicker. The transitors can also blow out, leaving you with no sound, but this has never happened to me.

I still maintain the fact that the Game Gear had better ports of even their Master System counterparts. The Game Gear version of Dragon Crystal is miles ahead of the Master System version. Super Columns was another good title. Shining Force was so much like a Genesis console title, it blew me away. I will admit that the Nomad was/is a beast, though.

I still have mine, haven't touched it in many years though. I have Sonic(?) 2 , X-Men, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.. The system was definitely ahead of its time, but HUGE and with battery issues.
