MovieTom | 39 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I'm 2 away from a full set (Fantastic Dizzy and Pete Sampras) and I'm still looking for some label variants but here's my Game Gear collection. The bottom right row are European and Japanese exclusives. Edited November 12, 2019 by MovieTom 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,013 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I just picked up a Sampras. I thought I had a Mega Man for a good price, but that deal ended up falling through. Anyway, I'm ready to dig into this one once I finish my loose GB set. Congrats, man. Looks awesome & inspiring! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very fun set to collect for. I had so much luck going to all the game stores in my area and just making deals on all their GG games. Most had been sitting there for years.

I have 5 game shops in my area and I've hit them all up, but they have good turn over. Vintage gaming is big in this area. Surprisingly big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosoraptor | 468 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nicely done! I love the Game Gear. What's your favorite game in the library? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down, I'd have to say Tails' Adventure. It's such a well made game. Think Metroidvania style game set in the world of Sonic. Some runner ups would be Vampire: Master of Darkness (basically Sega's Castlevania) and Tempo Jr is great looking little platformer. Also Coca Cola Kid is a good platformer as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,626 Editorials Team · Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Looks great! I have an ok GG collection going; posts like this make me want to focus more on it. And whoa, I didn't know there were different-shaped GG carts, are those rumble carts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGCollectaholic | 111 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Awesome set Tom, congrats! Good luck hunting down those last two. I started dabbling in GG collecting after picking up one of the Behar Bros awesome consolized GameGear units a while back (I'm not much of a handheld gamer). Prior to that I didn't pay much attention to it at all, so I'm having fun learning about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting something like that that's, all things considered, not priced at "an arm and a leg". I get that boutique hardware isn't cheap but Analogue's stuff is crazy (well, until they release their all-in-one handheld.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that boutique hardware isn't cheap but Analogue's stuff is crazy (well, until they release their all-in-one handheld.) The Behar Bros (the Turkish guys behind the Dreamcast Toro/Hanzo/etc boxes) built a consolized GameGear back in early 2017. In May, 2017, they built a very small batch for sale - I got in on that initial order of them (I think they only accepted a couple dozen orders). If I recall correctly, I think they ran about $290 shipped. Here's a video of it: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodysGameRoom | 2,009 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nice job. I love the description of the Codemasters games as having a "bread shape". lol I completed this set last year. Pete Sampras was a bitch and it took me a long time to find a good condition copy. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdius | 1,516 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Congrats on the set! Looks awesome! Last year I got a Coca-Cola Game Gear but I have yet to get into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Yeah, I just mentioned getting a copy. I had to settle for a copy from an international seller (in Europe) with a pinhole on the label, but the price was right. Even shipped, probably 50% of the typical price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkKobold | 205 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I managed to find a European seller who had the US version Pete Sampras label and box for a reasonable price. Some of the ones released in Spain had the same label and box. Would it be bad form to post a picture of my set in this thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to keep an eye on european ebay to find the last 2. I had to order my CJ Elephant from the Ukraine. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
